“I found it a little bit nervous and awkward coming in after replacing someone who had been on the show for so long.

“But after a while, the audience grew to me and I grew more into it as well.”

He added: “I've not really done much comedy before Corrie. It was just mainly roles in drama and theatre.

“But in Aadi's scenes with his family, it's good to play around and bring a bit of light-heartedness into some dark, serious situations. It's a good laugh.”
