ITV Coronation Street: Real life of George Shuttleworth actor Tony Maudsley - first Corrie role, Harry Potter fame and Johnny Depp link

George Shuttleworth has become a firm favourite among Coronation Street viewers since he made his Weatherfield debut in 2020. The funeral director, played by Tony Maudsley was introduced as the son of Archie Shuttleworth.

He arrived on the street when he began doing business with Preston's Petals after taking over Shuttleworth's Independent Funeral Directors after his father died. Then in January 2021, George and Gail Platt discovered that they shared great-great grandparents, Augustus and Fanny Page.

Since then Corrie fans have seen George strike up a relationship with Eileen Grimshaw and is even now working with her son, Todd, at the undertakers after he gave him a chance to change his scheming ways. But recently George has been hiding a secret and it all came to light during Monday night's trip to the cobbles.
