ITV Coronation Street's Jude Riordan supported as he prepares for big move while being recognised for soap role

He may be a star of one of the biggest show's on telly but Jude Riordan still has to do the same thing as any other 11-year-old, and that's going to school. Fans best know the young actor for playing Sam Blakeman in Coronation Street.

The young actor won the hearts of diehard Corrie fans when he made his Weatherfield debut in 2020 after he discovered that Nick Tilsley was his father. He made his appearance after his mum, Natasha Blakeman, bumped into her former flame at the hospital amid the heartbreaking storyline that saw Leanne Battersby's son, Oliver, die.

Other TV fans, however, may know Jude for appearing in Sky's Brassic as Michelle Keegan's on-screen son Tyler Croft But away from the cobbles, Jude is preparing for his move to secondary school later in the year.
