Coronation Street star Paddy Bever couldn't hide his shock as he picked up his first major award. The actor, who plays Max Turner in the ITV soap, bagged the Rising Star gong at the 2022 National Television Awards on Thursday evening (October 13).
The young actor, who was recast in the role of David Platt's step-son in September last year, arrived at the dazzling awards bash alongside many of his Corrie co-stars including Tanisha Gorey (Asha Alahan), Sally Ann Matthews (Jenny Connor), Charlotte Jordan (Daisy Midgley) and Antony Cotton (Sean Tully), to name just a few.
And after going up against Netflix stars Charithra Chandran, for her portrayal of Edwina Sharma in period drama hit Bridgerton and actors Joe Locke and Kit Connor, whose love story as Charlie Spring and Nick Nelson captured hearts in Heartstopper, Paddy was clearly stunned to have won the award.
