I was downing a bottle of whisky every single night

Corrie's Charlie on his wild days

- JANINE YAQOOB, VAZ SAYED

CHARLIE Lawson has boasted of his wild nights out with Katie Price as he took "any drugs he could get his hands on".

The Corrie legend told of his hellraising lifestyle while playing hardcase Jim McDonald on the soap.

Writing in his autobiography That's Life, So It Is, he says he drank over a bottle of whiskey a night and took cocaine, ecstasy, LSD, speed and cannabis.

Of his friendship with Katie Price, he writes: "I had always got on well with her, although we had more often than not been three sheets to the wind, at 3am, under the influence of anything that we had got our hands on! "I have always had a soft spot for Pricey. I've always felt that she has been let down by friends and boyfriends alike."
