Coronation Street signs up new star with soap icon parents AND brother – and they’ve all appeared on the ITV show before
CORONATION Street has signed up a new star from a legendary soap star family.
The Sun can reveal that Rosie Fleeshman has joined the soap for a guest stint – becoming the latest member of her family to walk the cobbles.
Rosie is the sister of former cobbles star Richard Fleeshman.
The actor, 32, played Rosie Webster (Helen Flanagan)’s goth boyfriend Craig Harris when he was just 12 years old.
Their mum – actress Sue Jenkins – starred in the soap as Gloria Todd for three years back in the 1980s and dad David played ‘bad boy’ Charlie Aindow in the 90s before Richard arrived on the cobbles in 2002.
He left when he was 16 years old – and has gone on to to become a West End star, starting with his role in Legally Blonde.
Other theatre role includes Ghost: The Musical and Urinetown.
As well as being well known on both stage and screen, Richard is a singer songwriter.
He was the youngest person to win Stars In Their Eyes celebrity special when he was just 13.
Richard also supported Elton John on tour in 2008 on three occasions.
The star’s Instagram shows him posing alongside Elton after going to one of his star-studded parties.
Earlier this year it was revealed that Richard had married partner Celinde Schoenmaker in front of family in an intimate ceremony.
Sharing a professionally-filmed wedding video, Celinde wrote on Instagram: “Last weekend we went up to our favourite place in the world @thecountryhousediaries and surrounded by just our families we got married.
“It was incredibly special to have three generations under one roof for the first time in 11 years.
“To our dear friends Ben and Paul who made it possible, we love you and are so deeply grateful for you both.
“To our families thank you for everything and for making it so unforgettable.
“To our friends…we don’t know when yet but there’s a big ol party in the works at some point so stay tuned x.”
