## Jim Bartley reassures fans after shocking claims about his condition

Jim Bartley, known for his roles in "Coronation Street" and "The Bill," has clarified that he is alive and well following alarming reports suggesting otherwise. This situation arose after his wife, Helen Cahill, received a phone call expressing concern about his health, leaving her in disbelief over the claims.

Responding to the rumors, Bartley stated, "I'm very much alive." He also explained how he considered reaching out to family members regarding the misleading news. “I said I would have to try and ring the family. But then I said I would ring Liveline, on RTE Radio One. It is the best way to get an announcement out that I am still alive as it has a listenership across the world.”
