Coronation Street star Jude Riordan has been flooded with support after he declared a 'wrap' on his character. The young actor, who is much-loved by fans for playing Sam Blakeman in the ITV soap, took to Instagram with an update on his career ahead of the festive season.
Jude posted a snap to his thousands of followers on his account, which is safely run by his mum, from the cobbles. Appearing in Sam's school uniform, the soap star kept warm in one of ITV's oversized blue puffa coats.
"And that is a WRAP on Sam Blakeman for 2022," Jude, who also stars in Sky Comedy Brassic opposite former Corrie star Michelle Keegan, typed alongside the Instagram post. "What another great year on the cobbles. See you in January 2023 for more shenanigans."
And fans were quick to comment. @alisonjanesymons wrote: "Aw have a lovely Christmas Jude you are fabulous in Corrie look forward to seeing you on screen 2023." @susimcfarland wrote: "Have a lovely Christmas you wonderful actor." @bee.ferguson posted: "Happy Christmas Jude, looking forward to your next Corrie shenanigans."
@mjose261 replied: "Merry Christmas. You've been amazing. Can't wait to see what you get up to in 2023." @_tinadonaldson shared: "Merry Christmas Jude..what an amazing young actor you are." @jo.raine.9 commented: "Merry Christmas to you and all of your family. Thanks for everything you bring to Coronation Street. You are a little star." @russ_henton added: "Congratulations this year's BRILLIANT work."
But it appears he hasn't completely finished work for the year as he took to his Instagram Story on Tuesday morning (December 13) of him hard at work in his Brassic tutoring. "Brassic tutoring time," Jude penned alongside the snap before adding: "Always with a cookie."
Last month, Jude showed his dedication to his job as he revealed he went into work while ill. He shared how he couldn't let a lingering virus keep him away from the Salford-based set as his dad, Paul Riordan, was working on some scenes for the soap which involved his son and his on-screen family.
Sharing a photo of himself throwing his arms around his dad while dressed in Sam's school uniform in Nick and Leanne Battersby's flat on the soap's set, Jude said: "When you haven't been well but can't miss your first Corrie scene directed by yer Dad @paulrio27."
He also shared a photo of himself and Paul in action alongside Ben Price, who plays Nick, and Jane Danson, who portrayed Leanne. And a third image showed the father and son sitting alongside his soap mum and dad. Jude also cheekily added in a hashtag: "Ben always has his eyes closed."
