Coronation Street's Sam Blakeman actor supports family member as they join ITV soap

Young Coronation Street star Jude Riordan had a message of support for a family member as they joined the ITV soap.

It seems the 11-year-old soap star isn't the only talented member of his family, as he posted to let fans know that his dad, Paul Riordan, had also landed a job on set. But rather than being on screen, his dad has been working behind the lens as he took on the role of directing.

During Monday's episode Jude, who is best known for playing Sam Blakeman, shared an image of him hugging his dad to Twitter. He captioned the post: "My Dad's Corrie Eps this week @paul_rio #corrie."
