"He left this world exactly how he lived, centre of attention," Mr Hayward wrote.The young PR manager had hundreds of friends – and thousands of loving fans online, after a series of appearances on TV.He created many hilarious videos from Corrie[MEDIA=youtube]3lrTUNMz1a8[/MEDIA][MEDIA=youtube]8FRiO91AfpE[/MEDIA][MEDIA=youtube]vgjPV2gbZWA[/MEDIA]But Mr Hett had already made fans and friends across the internet. In particular, he was famous for his Deidre Barlow tattoo, which he appeared on TV to have covered up – by another, much larger picture of the Coronation Street character.HIs original tattoo was just the word Deidre, written on his ankle in script. He described how he and his boyfriend had gone for a haircut, "still drunk from the night before", and "for some reason I decided to get Deirdre tattooed on my ankle".He'd picked the character because he was a Coronation Street superfan, his flat decked out with memorabilia from the soap. But he liked Deidre most of all, he said: "I love how common she is – a bit like me".Mr Hett would go on to have his tattoo fixed – with a huge image of Deidre Barlow behind bars on his ankle.<img src="https://static.independent.co.uk/s3fs-public/styles/story_medium/public/thumbnails/image/2017/05/24/10/deidretattoo.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /></blockquote>
