Real life of ITV Corrie's Kirk Sutherland actor Andy Whyment - traumatic birth story and stunning wife

Andy Whyment, or should we say Andrew, is now somewhat of a Coronation Street staple. The actor has spent the past 22 years on our screens as the loveable Kirk Sutherland, and that's not including his uncredited appearances.

He actually appeared in the ITV soap in 1990 and 1997 and was just referred to as Mark. Earlier this year, fans were baffled when they caught an episode of Classic Corrie and were quick to spot Maria had called Kirk a different name in their earlier scenes.

He also previously appeared in the Salford-based programme as Wayne, a guy who was simply purchasing some fireworks in The Kabin. But it wasn't until 2000 that he became a regular character.
