Bert Gaunt appeared on Coronation Street as Ivy Tilsley's husband Jack. He was cast in the role when Lynne Perrie (Ivy) was a semi-regular cast member, and before her backstory was changed when she became a regular. He appeared in two episodes in 1975. Gaunt's role is unique in Street history in that, four years after he appeared, Peter Dudley was cast as Bert Tilsley, ostensibly Ivy's husband of many years, therefore excising the character of Jack Tilsley from the programme's backstory. His actor brother Fred Gaunt also appeared on Coronation Street in minor police officer roles.
