Coronation Street's Jude Riordan wished well as he bags new job

Coronation Street star Jude Riordan has wowed fans with a career update away from the cobbles.

The St Helens youngster has wowed audiences with his performances as Sam Blakeman on the cobbles. Jude's role in the ITV soap earned him a number of awards last year as he took home the Best Newcomer Prize at both the National Television Awards and the Inside Soap Awards.

The 11-year-old won the hearts of Corrie fans when he made his Weatherfield debut in 2020 after he discovered that Nick Tilsley was his father.
