Coronation Street and Dynasty star Stephanie Beacham faced hammer wielding burglar during break-in at her London home
It's a role that saw her star opposite international acting icons including Joan Collins.
Describing Beacham as an "elderly victim”, Prosecutor Gregor McKinley added: “The Crown is pleased the case could come on in February, especially given the age and vulnerability of the victim.”Described by prosecutors as a "trespasser”, Wilson stands accused of entering Ms Beacham’s property with the intention of stealing her possessions.
The court also heard how “at the time of the commission of the burglary you had with you a weapon of offence, namely a hammer”.Wilson was remanded in custody Judge Nicholas Rimmer until his trial, with the pre-trial hearing taking place on February 1, with Beacham expected to be called as a witness. Wilson also stands accused of burgling the home of a pensioner in Sheffield as part of a separate case.
In the second incident, which he also pleaded not guilty to, it's alleged he stole a step ladder, mattress and a snooker championship medal.
