Coronation Street’s Ken Barlow admits he meditates on the toilet for up to three hours at a time
CORRIE legend Bill Roache has revealed he meditates on the toilet — for up to three hours.
The spiritual 86-year-old, who plays Ken Barlow in the ITV soap, also insisted he is going to live to 107.
Explaining how quiet contemplation on the loo can beat stress, he said: “Meditation might sound complicated or alien, but it is a discipline.
“You find a place in your home where you won’t be bothered — it might be the loo.
"If it’s the loo, use it.
"Sit there and balance your breathing.
“I think about the waves on the seashore coming in and going out.
"You leave all your worldly goods outside.
"I go into a peaceful state, I feel wonderful.
"I got to a point where I could sit for three hours.”

Bill, a healer at the Cheshire-based Pure Love Movement, an organisation who believe love can eradicate war and famine, and cure illnesses, also predicted he will live another two decades.
He said at a talk in Canada: “You set your time clock to a certain age — I decided on 107.
“Ageing is a belief system.
"If you believe you get older, your energy goes down so your cell renewal process goes down.”
