STUDENTS, fellow staff and the whole academic world surrounding Manchester University appears shocked at the just-revealed on-screen antics of Professor Nicholas Goddard.

The respected grey-haired tutor at the School of Chemical Engineering and Analytical Science has been outed as leading a secret double life as a successful porn star known as Old Nick.

All this apart, the most surprising thing is that he is no young stud but a 61 year-old, apparently quite confident in cavorting nude in films with girls 40 years his junior. Experience is wonderful, but it does just make you wonder what his not-so-hidden attractions are.
