CORONATION Street star Peter Ash gave fans an insight into his real life away from the show.
Peter, 39, has been playing Paul Foreman on the cobbles since joining the cast in 2018.
Taking to Instagram, the actor shared a snap of himself and girlfriend Amy, with the pair having attended a friend’s wedding.
He captioned the post: “Me and my girl”, while adding a red heart emoji.
One fan wrote: “Beautiful pic of you both Peter, so gutted now knowing you’re leaving Corrie.”
A second commented: “Peter, your acting is some of the best I have ever seen in my life! Congratulations on a fantastic performance yesterday.”
As a third penned: “Congratulations on a great performance and teaching the viewers more understanding of MND. All the best for a bright successful future.”
While a fourth added: “Gorgeous couple, amazing actor.”
Peter’s current storyline sees his character Paul battle Motor neurone disease (MND).
The character’s loved ones – including husband Billy (Daniel Brocklebank) – have rallied around him, although his condition has been deteriorating for some time.
It was previously confirmed Peter will bow out from the ITV soap at the end of the heartbreaking storyline.
On Monday, July 30, the actor joined Rochelle Humes and Dermot O’Leary on This Morning to discuss the challenging scenes.
He discussed the pressure involved in depicting Paul’s story and preparation in taking it on.
The actor shared: “It’s something you know there are real people living with.
“So, you want to get it right. You don’t want to misrepresent anything.
“It meant a lot of research, a lot of tiring days. To get the response we have been, it’s just been amazing.”
Paul Foreman was first introduced as a cellmate of David Platt (Jack P. Shepherd).
After becoming a show regular, he was revealed as the twin brother of Gemma Winter (Dolly-Rose Campbell).
Their mum Bernie (Jane Hazlegrove) later joined them – while an ongoing storyline sees a new addition to the family.
