ITV Coronation Street's Jude Riordan hits red carpet with famous dad after calling it a 'wrap' on Sam Blakeman

Coronation Street star Jude Riordan was all smiles as he celebrated another year on the ITV soap with a night out in Manchester. The young actor, who is known to fans for playing Sam Blakeman, hit the red carpet alongside his dad, Paul, ahead of watching the pantomime at Manchester's Opera House.

He was among the Corrie stars heading to watch Peter Pan, which this year stars comedian Jason Manford and Britain's Got Talent star Ben Nickless. Jude was snapped as he headed into the venue wearing a red hoodie under a green coat which he paired with jeans and trainers.

He posed alongside his dad who is also pretty famous in the TV world. Earlier this year fans were surprised to discover that the soap star's dad was known for his work behind-the-scenes on many much-loved shows. Paul has forged a successful career in showbusiness as a television director.
