Coronation Street's Jude Riordan shares how he spends downtime in St Helens

Young Coronation Street actor Jude Riordan works exceptionally hard for his age.

He juggles his school work with starring in one of the nation's most loved soaps and has recently finished filming for another project too. At the age of just 11 he has an impressive CV but is best known for starring as Sam Blakeman in Corrie.

Jude was born and lives in St. Helens and that is where he spends most of his downtime. This weekend proved to be no different, despite the Soap Awards being on TV, as he shared a sneak peek at how he relaxes when off-screen.

The actor posted that he had attended a music festival as he tagged himself at Rainford's Picnic in the Park on Instagram. He looked as cool as ever as he bopped his head along to the music wearing a bucket hat, plastic glasses and a tie-dye t-shirt.

In 2018 Jude joined the cast of the Sky One drama Brassic starring Michelle Keegan and Joseph Gilgun. Back in December he shared a snap on Instagram in the back of a car, writing: "That's a WRAP on BRASSIC 4. Been another fantastic series with the gang."

More recently, in May, Sam shared that season 4 would soon be available to see. Sharing the brand new trailer to his Instagram page, which is run by his parents, Jude wrote: "Reposted from @brassicfans_ BRASSIC 4 IS ON THE WAY this Autumn. Sneek peek. So proud to be part of this, fun 4 years with the gang @skytv @nowtv."

Coronation Street airs Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays at 8pm on ITV and the ITV Hub
