ITV Coronation Street's Jude Riordan told by fans 'don't like this' as he poses with co-star

Coronation Street star Jude Riordan is usually inundated with compliments due to his talents on screen when he shares a post to social media but his latest snap has left fans concerned. Fans best know the actor for playing Sam Blakeman in the ITV soap but he also stars in Sky comedy Brassic as Tyler.

So far this week in Corrie, viewers have seen Sam helping his friend Hope Stape get her own back after believing Peanut the dog killed her chinchilla, which she named Cilla. On Hope’s instructions, Sam reluctantly conned Maria Windass into handing over Vin-Diesel, the stuffed weasel from the barber shop.

After ordering Sam to go, Hope carefully placed Vin Diesel’s mouth around the skin of her arm before heading home and crying to her parents that an incensed Peanut had bitten her. A concerned Fiz and Tyrone taking their daughter off to the hospital to get her bite wound checked and now Peanut faces being put down for something she didn't do.

But as well as Sam being involved with Hope, his dad is also working with the brother of the man who killed his mum. Damon arrived on the cobbles last month where he briefly reunited with his son, Jacob Hay, before threatening him into leaving after he mucked up his plans to run drugs through the Bistro.

And things are nly going to get worse as next week there's gun drama on the cobbles. As Nick calls drug dealer Damon and confirms the drugs have been delivered, two masked men enter the bistro and, pointing a gun at Ryan Connor, demand that he hand over the drugs.

Ryan is terrified while Sam dives under a table and calls his dad. As he answers, a gunshot can be heard coming from the bistro. Nick, Leanne and Damon race towards the bistro fearing for Sam and Ryan.

But taking to Instagram, Jude shared how he and actor Ciaran Griffiths, who plays Damon, get on like a house of fire behind the scenes. Posting a photo of the pair from when Sam paid interest in DJing while Damon hosted a themed night at the Bistro, the young actor, 11, wrote: "How lucky am I to get to work with all these cool people."

He added alongside the image of the pair giving a thumbs up to the camera from behind the DJ decks: "Ciaran is boss! Though Sam does seem to be a magnet for the wrong uns! Oh well makes it all very interesting! What should his DJ name be? DJ Space Boy."

But fans weren't happy as they start to fear fro Sam. @jacquihughes05 said; "Don't like this." @lillianfeegan warned: "Keep away from him young Sam he’s a bad lad." @bryan995022 posted: "Damon is trouble sam should stay clear." @deb_blue_berry shared: "Sam run fast he is evil man!! @laurieinqueens added: "As long as they don't change Sam. He's such a positive role model."
