ITV Corrie's Michael Le Vell shares actual first soap as he gets emotional over career highs

Coronation Street star Michael Le Vell has spent more of his life on-screen in the ITV soap than he has off it. The actor made his debut as Kevin Webster in Weatherfield in 1983, a few months before his 19th birthday.

Upon his arrival onto the cobbles, Kevin moved in with Hilda Ogden and he soon picked up a job as a mechanic at Brian Tilsley's garage. His father, Bill, and sister, Debbie, soon follow followed him onto the street but he decided to stay when Bill remarried and moved to Southampton with Debbie.

And over the years we have seen the character at the centre of some of the long-running programme's biggest storylines - most notably his on-and-off relationship and marriage with Sally and his affairs with Natalie Horrocks and Molly Dobbs, which resulted in his son Jack being born.
