Coronation Street fans have been left shocked after discovering that a show star has a real-life twin who has previously acted in the programme.
Liam McCheyne, who plays Sean Tully's son Dylan Wilson, first arrived on the cobbles in 2011 and originally shared the role with his twin brother Connor.
He returned to the soap opera in 2022 but his brother opted to swap his acting career for one as a cricketer.

Coronation Street fans took to social media to share their shock at the discovery, according to The Sun newspaper.
One fan said: “I had no idea Liam was a twin," while another added: “Wait what?!”
A third person commented: “I didn't know either just read up on it," with a fourth writing: “Never knew they were twins!”
Liam, who is now 17, often shares snaps of himself and his brother on Instagram and even shared a sweet throwback to Father's Day.

In the post, he said: "I have had the privilege of having two dads. One off screen and one on.
"Both have impacted my life substantially, and both played a massive part in two very different aspects of my life.
"Therefore, I thank my off-screen dad and my on-screen dad", tagging Sean Tully actor Anthony Cotton in the post.
He also shared a picture of his brother playing cricket with the caption: "Connor found that love, and it is a love, so I'm really glad he found something he wants to do.
"We're as close as anything. We've got our differences, but there's definitely similarities."
Liam and his character Dylan were recently at the centre of a bullying storyline involving Mason Radcliffe, who is played by Luca Toolan.
