Susie, who played Bev Unwin in Corrie on and off from 2003 until 2015, has recently responded to the story.
She told The Mirror: "Hmm he's written about it in his book which is the only reason it came to light. And he wrote about it without asking which I think is a little bit naughty. But it was sweet.
"We were kids - 15 or something. We were at school. He didn't write anything unpleasant. I didn't read it but my girlfriend did and said it was fine."
