TV-LOVING monkeys Tommy and Brian adore Coronation Street - but go bananas
when they see Michael Barrymore.

Damieon Phillips placed a TV set in his pet Capuchin monkeys' cage for fun
and was amazed when they sat quietly watching their favourite soap.

Yet every time Michael Barrymore's My Kind Of Music comes on, the pets
throw squashy fruit at the screen.

Damieon, of Cannock, Staffordshire, said: "The monkeys really dislike
Barrymore but I haven't a clue why."
