Original Corrie star who played Faye's teen baby daddy Jackson is unrecognisable 6 years on

Coronation Street star Rhys Cadman looks totally different six years after leaving the long-running soap.

The actor is best known for playing Jackson Hodge between 2015 and 2017 on the ITV series.

Jackson was a former student at Weatherfield High who got classmate Faye Windass pregnant. He was initially unaware that he fathered a child.

The Hodge family moved to Canada with baby Miley but returned to the UK in early 2023.

However, this time, Jackson was played by Joseph William Evans.

After leaving the show in 2017, Rhys only took on several roles, including in Murdered for Being Different and Love, Lies and Records.

Not only has Rhys played in Corrie, but he also took on the role of Tam Blanco in the UK version of Shameless. He also had a small role in Doctors in 2013

Six years later, Rhys looks a little more grown up in pictures shared on his Instagram page.

The 24-year-old boasts almost 17,000 followers and shares snaps of him and his boyfriend as well as his outfits.

Earlier this month, he took to his page to post a snap of his toned-down outfit as he enjoyed a walk around town.

"Little stroll around town," he captioned the post.

He rocked a plain white t-shirt, and cream-coloured trousers and completed the look with a green trench coat.

Rhys added a little tote bag as he pouted and posed in front of a plant wall on the streets of Manchester.

The actor also shared a selfie taken at home at the beginning of the month.

He rocked a fresh cut and similar-coloured clothes as he smiled for the camera.

"Chilled Sundays are the best Sundays," he said.

Rhys also posts sweet pictures of him and his boyfriend at different events and venues.

A week before Christmas, he uploaded a snap of him and his boyfriend Murray posing in the hallway wearing matching outfits.

They both rocked black trousers and black shirts. Adding a pop of colour to the dark fit, they wore light grey blazers.

"Double trouble at the work Christmas party," he captioned the post.
