Coronation Street star Ryan Prescott confessed he “wasn’t acting” when filming the acid attack scenes as Ryan Connor due to a technical blunder.
Over the past few months, Daisy Midgely (Charlotte Jordan) has been hounded by stalker Justin (Andrew Still) who has made her life a living hell in order to break up her engagement to her fiancé Daniel Osbourne (Rob Mallard).
And on Monday evening (March 27), things escalated into a horrific Katie Piper-inspired acid attack after he tried to throw the clear liquid in the barmaid’s face just moments before walking down the aisle.

ITV bosses have teamed up with The Katie Piper Foundation and Acid Survivors Trust International to tell the story so they could “highlight the devastating impact and long-lasting effects of such heinous attacks.”
Now, in an exclusive interview with Daily Star and other publications, the loveable actor has revealed what it was actually like to film those devastating shower scenes.
He recalled: “They’re actually quite fun to film, you get to let loose a little bit which was nice. And to be honest the whole block had a different energy to it, it was a very high energy.

“The shower scenes itself, if I’m honest, I completely underestimated the temperature of the water. It was so cold, there was no acting being done.
“That was just me trying to breathe throughout the five to six hours that we shot it for. It was so cold, so yeah there was no acting in those scenes.”
The actor explained the main reason they couldn’t shoot the scenes with warm water was because they couldn’t have any steam blocking the shot.

Ryan went on: “We couldn’t see any steam in the shot, and it would have been as cold as the pipe would allow it as far as trying to numb the nerve endings and cool the acid.
“Although water doesn’t do that much to neutralise the acids or alkaline, but it is the thing that you have to do.
“So we couldn’t have any steam, so it had to be cold. And it was which I kind of underestimated little bit, but it was great.”
