Eric Potts, the 61-year-old actor who played baker Diggory Compton in Coronation Street, has been handed a 26-month prison term suspended for 30 months at Burnley Crown Court. He admitted making and sharing indecent images of children, some in the most serious category. The judge said the boys pictured were as young as 11, and Potts must sign the sex offenders register for ten years.
