Coronation Street star Peter Ash has both stunned and delighted fans as he revealed that his real-life mum appeared in the soap. The actor is currently winning praise for her portrayal of Paul Foreman in the ITV soap.
The actor is currently portraying a Motor Neurone Disease storyline after Paul was diagnosed with the life-limiting illness in heartbreaking scenes. The former builder discovered the heartbreaking news that he had the fatal, rapidly progressing disease that affects the brain and spinal cord, in scenes aired in April.
Paul, who only discovered anything was wrong after he was accidentally knocked over by Carla Connor in her Underworld van when she had been unknowingly drugged with LSD by Stephen Reid, kept the news from his loved ones, only confiding in his friend and former flatmate Dee-Dee Bailey.
