OHMYGOSSIP — Sam Aston has no plans to leave ‘Coronation Street’.
The 28-year-old actor has played the role of Chesney Brown on the ITV soap since 2003 and feels very “lucky” because there is always a new storyline to “test him”.
He said: “I’ve played him for so long, but I’ve been lucky, because I’ve had so many storylines over the years that they always test you and it’s a new thing to sink your teeth into.”
The soap star explained that he has “not really entertained” the idea of quitting his long-running role as the kebab shop manager Chesney, which he has played for almost 20 years.
Speaking on ITV’s ‘Loose Women’, he added: “So, I’ve not really entertained the idea right now. I don’t know, maybe not.”
After being played a clip of his first appearance on the show, Sam explained that he was more “fearless” as a child and that at that age he didn’t “understand the magnitude” of the iconic show.
Speaking to hosts Ruth Langsford, Janet Street-Porter, Coleen Nolan and Kelle Bryan, Sam said: “I think when you’re that young, you’re a bit more fearless as a child. I didn’t understand the magnitude of the show, I was just there and having a good time. Acting was something I enjoyed. I went to a drama workshop as a child and it was a hobby.
Since being introduced on the cobbles as the son of negligent mother Cilla Brown, Chesney has been at the centre of several dramatic storylines, including being taken into care as a child before becoming a teenage father to son Joseph with the now-deceased Katy Armstrong.
In recent years, Chesney lost girlfriend Sinead Tinker – who was played by ex ‘Hollyoaks’ star Katie McGlynn -to cancer before going on to welcome quadruplets with current partner Gemma Winter in 2019.
In real life, Sam is married to yoga teacher Briony – with whom he has has sixteen-month old son Sonny – and the couple are now expecting a daughter, who is due in the spring.
On the pregnancy, Sam joked: “One of each! Competition is on the way for Sonny!”
