Merseyside actor makes the list for British Soap Awards 2023

A young actor who dreams of one day playing Spiderman on the silver screen has earned his place on the list of nominees for this year's British Soap Awards.

Jude Riordan, 11, is up for the Best Young Performer award for his performance as Sam Blakeman in ITV's Coronation Street. Lillia Turner (Lily Slater, EastEnders), Huey Quinn (Kyle Winchester, Emmerdale) and Jayden Fox (Bobby Costello, Hollyoaks) are also in the running for the winning spot, which will be announced at a televised ceremony in June.

Jude, a Y7 pupil at De La Salle School in St Helens, first plunged into the world of acting six years ago, when he appeared in The Secret Life of Five-Year-Olds on Channel 4. He later appeared in the CBBC short film Katie, and played Tyler Croft in the Sky one comedy-drama Brassic.
