Coronation Street's Sam Aston poses with adorable son who's his spitting image

Coronation Street star Sam Aston and his son are the spitting image of each other in his latest Instagram snap.

The actor, who has played Chesney Brown on the soap since 2003, is currently enjoying a sunny getaway with his little family.

He's on an idyllic holiday with yoga teacher wife Briony and their tot - Sonny James.

On Monday, Briony shared a gorgeous selfie of her two boys on Instagram with her 13.4k followers.

Sam's son looked just like him in the snap - with near enough the same hair and strikingly similar features.

His wife poked fun at their resemblance in the image, which racked up almost 2,000 likes.

"Everyone says he looks just like his daddy, I just don't see it," she sarcastically wrote alongside the post.

His fans couldn't help but gush over the dad-and-son duo in the comments.

One person wrote: "Awwww you guys are the double of each other. Like daddy like son! Have a fantastic holiday x"

"Mini Chez," another joked.

A third added: "Omg haha. Definitely your double!"

"He SO does!!!" a fourth shared.

And a fifth penned: "Aww so pleased he’s enjoying his first holiday xx"

Sam and his wife are currently expecting a second child together.

The soap star is looking forward to becoming a dad for a second time - this time to a little girl.

Sam revealed his wife was pregnant again in October in an adorable post on Instagram.

Sitting in a pumpkin patch little Sonny, sporting a sweet rainbow jumper, held up a sign that read: "We're adding another pumpkin to our patch! Due Spring 2022".

Speaking about his shock when he found out the sex of the new baby Sam said: "I could see us having another boy, so it was a really nice surprise.

"I was quite shocked. I don’t know why, because it’s a 50/50 chance!

"There are twins in Briony’s family, so when we went in I was a bit nervous and said, 'There’s definitely only one in there, right?' He said, 'There’s only one!' and then told us it was a girl!", he told OK! Magazine.

The couple hadn't planned to have another baby so soon after Sonny, but now they're delighted the siblings will be close in age.

Yoga teacher Briony said: "We were actually trying not to get pregnant! [Laughs] Just because Sonny was so premature – my concern was having two too close together and having another premature baby. But it just happened!"
