Former Coronation Street actor Jamie Kenna has launched a new career worlds away from the ITV soap.

The soap star has swapped his character on the Cobbles for coffee as he has opened his new cafe in Brighton earlier this week. Jamie, who starred as Phil Whittaker in the soap, first arrived in Weatherfield in 2021 and embarked on a short-lived romance with Fiz Stape before departing again last year.
