Former Coronation street star Oliver Mellor has been forced to call in police after a pervert leaked pictures of him onto the internet.
The actor – who played Dr Matt Carter until 2013 – was left ‘disgusted’ when he discovered pictures of him changing in the gym had been taken and shared on WhatsApp.
He told The Sun on Sunday: “I’m disgusted. It’s a total invasion of privacy. Hopefully the police make an arrest.
“It’s very unnerving to think I can’t have a shower or get changed without some creep taking secret pics of me when I am naked.

“I reported the matter to the gym and police – so hopefully they can investigate and make an arrest.”
The actor, who has also appeared in Emmerdale and EastEnders, was made aware of the pictures by his fiancee, model Rhian Sugden.
The newspaper claims Rhian was made aware of the images by a friend who saw them being shared on social media.

Oliver then complained to the gym and a review was conducted and a suspect identified.
A spokesman for Pure Gym confirmed the allegation to Entertainment Daily and said the actor had their full support.
The statement read: “Our membership rules forbid members from taking photographs/videos on Pure Gym premises or from posting remarks to the internet that may identify another member.

“We take this issue very seriously and have given Mr Mellor our full support.
“We will fully co-operate with any police investigation and any member found to have taken photos of this nature will be banned from all of our gyms.”
A police spokesman has been contacted for comment.
