Craig Charles once got picked up from the Coronation Street set in a helicopter.
The actor plays Lloyd Mullaney in the ITV soap and has revealed how a fan once picked him up in a helicopter as he was running late for a Lake District DJ set.
Speaking on This Morning he said: "I was working late and I was going to have to cancel the gig at the Kendal Calling Festival because I wasn't going to make it.
"So I tweeted asking if anyone had a helicopter - a guy replied saying, 'Yeah I have one', and he came to pick me up!"
Also DJ-ing despite being best known for his television work, he says he loves music because of his father.
"My dad got me into music. He arrived in England in the 50s/60s with a pocket full of change and a bag full of records.
"He'd listen to Aretha Franklin, Otis Redding, Ray Charles, Harry Belafonte and all sorts of people."
Craig performed at a number of festivals this summer, including Glastonbury and Lovebox.
