Some actors enjoy the trappings of celebrity – a lavish lifestyle with nice holidays, fancy cars and the best seat in any restaurant in town.
But while Coronation Street newcomer Jamie Kenna is loving life on the cobbles, he is determined to put his recent fame so far better use by helping people with mental health struggles.
The actor, who plays Fiz Stape’s rejected husband Phill Whittaker, suffered a breakdown eight years ago and hopes speaking about his ordeal will encourage others to open up too.
