ITV Coronation Street star's real-life mum appeared in soap and viewers may have missed it

One of Coronation Street's most recognisable stars had their mum pop up in the ITV soap recently - and viewers may have missed it. This year Antony Cotton is celebrating his own Corrie milestone. as the actor, who is best known for playing Sean Tully in the ITV soap, will mark 20 years on the cobbles after making his debut in 2003.

Sean appeared in Weatherfield while searching for somewhere to live and it is then that he found a home at No.11 with Eileen Grimshaw, where viewers still find him today. And, following his sacking from a cosmetics firm, he became Underworld's first male machinist. He is now also a barman at the Rovers Return.

But last week, all eyes were on Antony's mum as she bagged a role in the long-running soap. Fans may not know that Enid Dunn, who is an NHS volunteer, previously appeared in Peter Kay's hit comedy Phoenix Nights. But she has also appeared not once but FOUR times before in Corrie.
