Coronation Street's Chesney star says 'it's mad' as he aims to be 'new Roy Cropper' after special milestone

Coronation Street star Sam Aston has addressed his upcoming milestone on the soaps as he says: "It's mad!" The actor was just 10-yearw-old when he was cast in the ITV soap as the son of son of Cilla Battersby-Brown and the half-brother of Fiz Dobbs.

Over the years Sam's character has been involved in a whole host of storylines - from being held hostage to becoming a dad of quads. But next week, Corrie viewers will see Chesney walk down the aisle as he ties the knot with Gemma Winter.

After a fall out with her twin brother Paul Foreman, Bill Mayhew will be left having to persuade Paul to attend. But after hearing from Joseph that Gemma has been crying, Paul apologises and all is forgiven. And soon, in the church, the congregation watches as Paul, battling his Motor Neurone Disease symptoms walks Gemma down the aisle in a jaw-dropping dress of her dreams.
