ME AND MY BODY
STEPHEN BILLINGTON
The hunky Corrie star is proving
to be right up everyone's street
BODY BASICS
Bolton-born Stephen, who plays Les Battersby's long-lost son, has had roles in The Buccaneers, Space Precinct, Out of the Blue and Mel Gibson's Braveheart, and once was described as 'Six foot two inches of gorgeousness.' But he says the compliments make him squirm.
'I'm nothing special,' says Stephen. 'OK, so it's an advantage for an actor to look good, but I like to think that I'm more than just a pretty face.'
He doesn't mind getting his kit off, and we saw lots of him in the TV version of Jilly Cooper's The Man Who Made Husbands Jealous -- especially his bum. 'I thought it wobbled far too much!' he says.
BODY WORK
The tall, dark, handsome 28-year-old with a body to die for keeps in perfect shape with workouts and swimming. When he was at school he swam for Lancashire, the Northern Counties and at a junior level for England.
DIET
Stephen loves fish prepared in exciting ways. 'I try to eat healthy stuff -- not too many greasy things. But I'm not into diets and believe in sound nutritious habits, not quick fixes,' he says.
SEX RATING
Stephen's single and lives alone in north London. Last year he split with his long-term girlfriend, and he vows not to rush into another relationship just yet. 'Love is far more important to me than sex, so I'm happy to wait,' says Stephen, who admits he lost his virginity at 16 to an older woman when he worked as a hotel waiter.
'She used and abused me in the most fantastic way,' he says. 'She was 21 and worked on reception. Trouble was, she was also the assistant manager's girlfriend, so I had to be careful!'
