Telly star Ricky Tomlinson rakes in a fortune from telly ads but revealed he’d rather have his ageing Skoda Yeti over a Rolls Royce.
Former Brookside actor Ricky – who also starred in the film Mike Bassett: England Manager: “I don’t have to worry about anything. I’m a workaholic.”
The Royle Family star said of his motor: “Everyone laughs at it. I got it brand new years ago for about £20,000. It’s still going. People say, ‘You’re on the telly, you should be driving a Rolls-Royce’.

“I say, ‘my Skoda will take me to the same place as a Rolls will. And it’ll cost me less in petrol’.
“But I am frightened to get it cleaned in case it collapses. And I’ve got so much crap in it – building stuff, props, fancy dress, because when you do a film or telly thing the wardrobe people say,‘ You may as well take those costumes. They won’t fit anyone else’.

“But listen to this, kid. I was driving through town and pulled up at the traffic lights. This bloke tapped on the window and I said, ‘What is it, mate?
