Coronation Street's Dylan star says 'I promised' as he pays tribute to 'missing' co-star

Coronation Street star Liam McCheyne has joked about his 'promise' to his co-star Cait Fitton as he paid a sweet tribute to her on her birthday. The Dylan Wilson actor gushed over his 'best friend' as he marked her birthday on Friday (March 8).

Liam, who is currently winning praise for his part in the ITV soap's harrowing bullying storyline, shared a string of snaps of himself and Cait, who joined Corrie as Lauren Bolton back in 2022, starting with a beaming selfie seemingly taken on a fresh winter walk.

Other pictures include the pair out shopping, visiting a local high school in Bury to talk to students as well as hitting the red carpet for the recent Pretty Woman the Musical press night in Manchester. Liam's twin brother, Connor, also made an appearance in the photos as did Corrie co-star Luca Toolan, known for playing Weatherfield High bully Mason Radcliffe.

The teen added: "Hope you have an amazing day. And enjoy 22!" Birthday girl Cait was quick to respond to the post, writing: "Thank you bestoooo."
