Coronation Street star shares bizarre conspiracy theory claiming UK government controls the weather & fans are horrified
CORONATION Street actor Daniel Brocklebank has baffled fans by sharing a bizarre conspiracy theory about the weather.
The 44-year-old – who has played Billy Mayhew in the ITV soap since 2014 – claimed the UK government controls the weather – leaving fans horrified.
Daniel shared pictures on his social media of a sunny day and wrote to his 100k followers: “Beautiful blue skies in Manchester this morning…However, the planes have already started spraying.. it’ll be grey & miserable again in no time…”
One fan replied: “You actually believe this? I should stick to acting if I were you….”
“Don’t be so damned ridiculous,” said another.
One wondered: “You are being satirical right?”
Someone else asked: “Genuine question. What would the government get out of making the sky grey?”
Daniel came under fire in 2022 after sharing dangerous anti-vaxx rants on Twitter.
He was accused of retweeting misinformation, liking tweets from anti-vaxx and anti-lockdown campaigners and calling for SAGE scientists to be arrested.
Daniel, who joined Coronation Street in 2014 to play gay vicar Billy, previously took to social media to complain about the effect of the pandemic on the ITV soap, saying he found lockdown “horrific”.
Daniel admitted he was finding the ongoing coronavirus pandemic “tough” as the UK entered its third national lockdown.
In 2020 he wrote: “January can be bleak at the best of times.
“But this year especially I know so many of us are finding it rough.”
He later went on to tell his 110,000 followers on Twitter: “I’ve had enough.”
