Coronation Street’s Sam Aston explains how Dancing on Ice impacts Chesney storyline Sam Aston, who has played Chesney Brown for more than 21 years on Coronation Street, is taking a break from Weatherfield to join 10 other celebrities competing on Dancing on Ice.
It’s understandable that Corrie fans could be worried about another departure from the series, with Helen Worth who played Gail leaving at the end of last year and other stars tipped to leave, but Sam isn’t going anywhere.
Having joined the ITV soap when he was just 10 years old, Sam isn’t ruling out staying with the show as long as Helen did.
The 31 year old actor is keen to reassure fans that he’s only on a temporary pause from the soap, and Chesney will be back on screens soon.
I never rest on my laurels, I wouldn’t like to think I’m irreplaceable or anything like that, but as long as they want me and I’m enjoying it, I’ll stay.”.
