ITV Corrie star opens up about his struggles as he says 2022 has dealt him the 'biggest lows'

Coronation Street star Jack James Ryan has become a popular addition to Weatherfield since returning as a reformed character earlier this year. After bursting onto the scene last year as a drug dealer groomed by Harvey Gaskell, who ensnared Simon Barlow into their gang, in February Jack, who plays Jacob Hay, was revealed to be Amy Barlow's secret boyfriend.

The couple have since moved into 19a Victoria Street in a flat-share with Summer Spellman and Aaron Sandford, with Jacob landing work in the sales department at Underworld. Actor Jack took to Instagram Stories to reflect on the highlights of his 2022, including the formation of 'Jamy' - Jacob and Amy, played by Elle Mulvaney.

"I'm continually overwhelmed by the love and support you guys have shown for the character and for me. It's been mega to see people get behind Jacob's journey," he typed about his role in Corrie.
