Fans go wild for Corrie's Andy Whyment singing Angels drunk and topless on holiday

He may be one of the nation's biggest soap stars, but Andy Whyment has proved he's just like everyone else when it comes to a boozy karaoke session.

The Corrie star, 41, has been living his "best life in the Maldives" during his current getaway, and that includes treating fellow holiday-goers to a drunken rendition of the karaoke classic Angels by Robbie Williams with a pal.

Taking to Instagram on Wednesday, the Kirk Sutherland actor delighted his 399,000 followers by sharing a clip of the moment he took to the 'stage', drunk and topless, and showed off his vocal skills.

"Two drunk 41 year olds me and @davidtaylor2903 living there best lives in the Maldives @sunsiyamvilureef HAPPY HOLIDAYS," Andy captioned his stint singing in the sun.

In the clip, the actor can be seen sporting a bit on sunburn on his shoulders, as he belts out Robbie's much-covered 1997 smash-hit song alongside his friend in just a pair of patterned blue swim shorts.

The star, who has been a regular on the cobbles since May 2000, appeared to be taking his vocal duties seriously - swaying as he recited the lyrics inside the holiday bar.

Fans and followers loved Andy's update on Wednesday, with one commenting: "You're human Andy, that's why we love you!! Carry on & enjoy."

"Classssss effort mate!! Always up for a laugh, never a dull moment, hope you're having a blast," another quipped underneath the video, with a third joking: "It’s like the new Chaz and Dave."

Tyrone Dobbs actor Alan Halsall also gave some feedback, telling his Coronation Street co-star and friend: "Any excuse [laughing-face emojis] [love] ya bro."

Andy has been enjoying a break in the Maldives over recent days, captioning a beach snap with loved ones earlier this week: "Another amazing day making memories in paradise although we were missing @tomwhyment @harrisonsmith2608 and little Grayson as they were playing pool."

"How do you explain that Tan on the street," one follower enquired on Tuesday, to which to long-time soap star replied: "it’s been sunny in Weathefield [laughing-face emojis]".

Responding to fans commenting on his sunburn, Andy also revealed he's had "factor 50 on every day it’s absolutely roasting though" - promising fans he'll "go brown eventually".

Since first appearing on the ITV soap over two decades ago, Andy has become of Coronation Street's best-loved characters.

After appearing on BBC comedy The Royale Family, the dad-of-two paid his first visit to Weatherfield in 2000, going on to become a named character by the end of the same year.

During his time on the Manchester-based series, the actor has won the British Soap Award for Best Comedy Performance and appeared on various other ITV shows, including Dancing On Ice and I'm a Celebrity...Get Me Out of Here! in 2019.

Away from the cameras, Andy married his long-term partner Nichola in 2007 and the happy couple share two children together, Thomas and Hollie.
