Coronation Street star Cait Fitton was among those sharing messages for co-star Liam McCheyne on his birthday. The actor, who is known for playing Dylan Wilson in the ITV soap, turned 17 over the weekend alongside his twin, Connor.
Liam returned to Corrie back in 2020, ten years after he was first cast in the role of Dylan on the cobbles for a brief stint before returning again in 2022. Liam first appeared alongside his twin brother Connor as Dylan in 2011 but while Connor has gone on to focus on sport, Liam has carried on acting.
And back to the present day and the twins celebrated their 17th birthday on Sunday (January 21). Taking to Instagram to mark the occasion, Liam shared a number of snaps of the pair as youngsters and more recently - with Liam and Connor seen sporting a few matching outfits as well as working together on the cricket oval.

"17 years of sharing a birthday with @connormccheyne never a day where we're not laughing," the soap star captioned the start of his post. He went on: "Both have different ideas and pathways, but we have the same person to always trust. I wouldn't have it any other way. Another chapter is going to be written. Chapter 17! Here's to another amazing year."
And the birthday wishes soon came flooding in. George Shuttleworth actor Tony Maudsley said: "Happy birthday, twinnies!!!" He also took to X, formerly known as Twitter, with a picture of himself and Liam and said: "Happy birthday @LiamMccheyne One more year and you're buying the pints!!"
Samia Longchambon, who plays Maria Connor, commented: "Ah happy birthday to you both!"
