ITV Coronation Street: Off-screen life of Max Turner actor Paddy Bever - Stockport childhood, real age and catfish storyline

Things may seem to be going smoothly for Max Turner right now, but it is Coronation Street and things don't look set to be staying calm for much longer. The character, played by Paddy Bever, has been causing trouble on the cobbles ever since making an on-screen comeback back in September.

Fans of the ITV soap were left baffled when he returned as they were greeted with a brand new face. Paddy took over the role from Harry McDermott, from Bury, played the son of David Platt's late wife Kylie from 2010. The 11-year-old, from Bury, left to continue with his acting studies and explore other opportunities leading to Paddy being cast in the role.

And it has been a very busy nine months for the actor. Since his comeback, David's had his hands full with his step-son, whose dad, Callum Logan, was also killed. It even led to viewers complaining late last year about the character's 'vile' transformation.
