OHMYGOSSIP — Ben Price was “pinned” to the wall by an angry goose.
The ‘Coronation Street’ star – who plays Nick Tilsley in the ITV soap – has recalled being attacked by the bird when he was running down a towpath in Trafford, Manchester.
Recalling what happened, he shared: “There I am running through Trafford and there’s a goose with its chicks on the towpath. So I turn and I’m right opposite it running and it goes: ‘Hiss.’ The full hiss. And it’s big. One of those big f******. So it took off at me, pinned me against the wall, full flap. And I’m like, ‘Arghh!’ I was thinking, ‘I’m not going anywhere near your babies, your chicks, I’m just running through.’ ”
Ben admitted he was “a bit panicked” by the whole incident.
Speaking about the encounter, he explained: “I tell you what, I ran. And I was a bit panicked. But of course, there’s like another 10. So I can’t go back, I’m going forward and every time I go past one I’m like talking to them, saying, ‘No dramas, nothing here. I’m just going for a run. Please.’ You don’t want to upset them. You don’t want to stress them out.”
And his co-star Colson Smith – who plays Craig Tinker in the ITV soap – confessed he has also had a scary geese encounter when he was out running.
Speaking on the ‘Sofa Cinema Club’ podcast, he said: “I’ve had an encounter as well and they are turning more and more aggressive. There are about 10 geese along this stretch of the canal.
“I run to certain heart rates and as I see one my heart rate flies up because of the anxiety that it’s going to attack me. They are nasty animals. They’re awful.”
