Coronation Street's Chesney actor Sam Aston 'nauseous' as he declares love for co-star and leaves fans feeling 'old'

Coronation Street star Sam Aston admitted to feeling a little bit 'nauseous' after he shared his love for his co-star after he paid a sweet tribute. The actor, famed for playing Chesney Brown in the ITV soap, was celebrating a big birthday this week when Andy Whyment spoke out.

Kirk Sutherland favourite Andy took to social media to publically wish his friend and colleague a special day and shared a series of snaps of the pair from various moments of them together over the years - from spending time on the golf course to watching Manchester United in action.

But it appears some of the memories set Sam's stomach churning, specifically a picture of him holding up what looked like a giant Portstar Martini cocktail.

"I’ve known you since you were 10 and today you turn 30 @samaston93," Andy typed confirming Sam was celebrating three decades around the sun. He added: "I’m very proud seeing the man you’ve become HAPPY 30th BIRTHDAY mate." And clarifying the last pic, Andy said: "The last picture was his stag weekend."

Sam was quick to respond to the sweet post, writing: "I feel nauseous just looking at that last one [crying laughing emoji]. Love you loads mate. Much appreciated."

Sam's wife Briony also showed her appreciation, writing: "Aw Andy. We love you." But while fans also reacted to the lovely public message, other Corrie fans couldn't help but admit to feeling 'old' having watched Sam grow up on screen as he nears 20 years on the famous cobbles.
