Fans will know Sam, 25, best as villainous heartthrob Curtis Delamere, having appeared in 60 episodes of the long-running drama.

Having left the soap in 2021, the Australian-English has this week been spotted swapping cobbles for coastline, during a well-earned break in Scotland.

According to his biography, Sam once aspired to be a marine biologist, so it’s no wonder he’s chosen to holiday by the sea.

He posted pictures on his Instagram showing him soaking up the natural beauty of the Scottish shores – though he appeared a little more hairy than fans are used to.
