Sam Aston, known for his role as Chesney Brown on Coronation Street since 2003, has expressed his thrill about participating in An Audience with Coronation Street, a UK tour that offers fans an intimate experience with some of the soap’s icons.

The London leg of the tour kicks off on Sunday (September 14), and the 32-year-old actor shared his anticipation for the event in a clip exclusively released by ITV studios.

He exclaimed: “This is my West End debut! I’m absolutely buzzing to be fair. There’s a good buzz around the building and I think, yeah, we’re all excited!”

Sam also hinted at the fun he expects to have on stage with his co-stars, after one Coronation Street star addresses their future on the soap.

In another clip, he added: “We’ll have to see how it goes! I don’t think I’ll be too good at the quiz. But hopefully, there will be some good stories, some good laughs, and everybody enjoys themselves.”

On Sunday, Sam will join his Coronation Street colleagues Jane Danson, who plays Leanne Battersby, and Patti Clare, who portrays Mary Taylor on the show, reports the Daily Star.

An Audience with Coronation Street is touring the UK this September, hosted by This Morning’s resident soap expert, Sharon Marshall.

Each event promises attendees the chance to see five stars live on stage, along with the surprise appearance of a cobble legend.

“Ever wondered what really goes on between takes? Or which co-stars are best mates off-screen? This is your chance to find out!”

Regrettably, actress Vicky Myers, who plays Lisa Swain, will no longer be able to attend due to scheduling conflicts.

In a message, she expressed: “I’m so, so, sorry to miss the Glasgow show for An Audience with Coronation Street on 24th September. Due to unavoidable last-minute schedule changes, I won’t be able to be there.

“Every possible scheduling option was explored, however it was just not possible I’m afraid. This was completely out of my control.

“In my place I am delighted that the legend and utterly gorgeous ‘Sunshine Sue Devaney’ will be joining the line-up instead – she is going to be amazing – she IS amazing!”
