Mike Shaft

Mike Shaft appeared in Coronation Street in June 1990 as Clive, a reporter for Radio Weatherfield who hosted a live interview of Alec and Bet Gilroy when they were threatened with eviction from the Rovers Return Inn.

This was a rare acting role for a man who was and remains a full-time DJ in the Manchester area. He was born in Grenada and moved to the UK in 1968, joining Piccadilly Radio in 1978. He moved to Radio Manchester in 1987 and formed Sunset Radio in 1989 but left that broadcaster just one year later. After that, he worked for a succession of stations as well as presenting various television and radio programmes.

One further credited acting role was in an episode of Cold Feet in 2001.
