Viewers have watched Chesney - and the actor who plays him - grow up on screen, with it now 21 years since his first appearance
Chesney Brown and his wife Gemma are facing more hard times in Coronation Street . It was as year that the pair tied the knot in one of Weatherfield's biggest weddings, with the bride sporting a huge orange dress decked out with fairy lights.
Viewers have watched Chesney - and Sam Aston, the actor who plays him - grow up on screen, with it now 21 years since his first appearance on the cobbles. Sam was just 10-years-old when he was cast in the ITV soap as the son of Cilla Battersby-Brown and the half-brother of Fiz Stape - and the character was named after 90s popstar Chesney Hawkes.
"Because I grew up in a big family, I've always been used to the chaos. I've got five sisters and three brothers so I'm used to a lot of people being around in the house, children and all sorts," he recently told the Manchester Evening News. Sam took to one knee and proposed in summer 2017 in front of over 250 people at the annual charity golf dinner that he hosts with co-stars Alan and Andy Whyment at the Worsley Park Marriott Hotel in Salford. The couple have known each other since they were young and started chatting on MSN as smitten teenagers. "Briony and I met when I was about 15 or 16," Sam previously told the Mirror. "We got together, but we were very young.
Then in May, Sam announced the arrival of his third child with his wife Briony. The couple confirmed the arrival of their baby girl alongside pictures of the bundle of joy's arrival.
