Coronation Street newcomer Phill Whittaker arrived onto the cobbles last summer. The character was at the centre of one of the ITV soap's juicy storylines, as he was introduced as Fiz Stape's new love interest after her long-term relationship with Tyrone Dobbs broke down following his affair with Alina Pop.
Phil is played by actor Jamie Kenna, who has swapped Hollywood films for Weatherfield - and he could be the soap's new 'villain'. Here is everything we know about the star:
Jamie, 47, is best known for playing Big Marc in football hooligan drama Green Street, which featured Charlie Hunnam and Elijah Wood. He has also appeared in the dystopian action thriller Children of Men, alongside Michael Cane and Julianne Moore, directed by Oscar-winning director Alfonso Cuaron.
