Who is Andy Whyment?
Whyment grew up in Clifton, Greater Manchester and received acting training at the nearby Laine Johnson Theatre School in Salford.
His acting career began to pick up steam in the 1990s, with minor roles in Cracker starring Robbie Coltrane, as well as Heartbeat and Where The Heart Is.
Fans of classic British comedy will recognise him as Darren from The Royle Family, but Whyment is best known for his role of Kirk Sutherland on the ITV soap opera Coronation Street.
He has been playing the character since 2000, and picked up the Best Comedy Performance gong at the British Soap Awards in 2003.
In 2012, he competed on ITV's Dancing On Ice, placing 6th overall with professional skater Vicky Ogden.
