He wore a grey sweatshirt and black trousers for the photoshoot, looking worlds away from troubled teen Max, who is currently embroiled in a racism storyline.

Tina O’Brien, best known for her role as Sarah Platt, gushed: “Oh my goodness Paddy why didn’t you say it was your birthday?! I’m so sorry I didn’t realise.
“Happy Birthday! Have a gorgeous evening,” she concluded.
As Maria Connor star Samia Longchambon said: “Happy Birthday darling!”
Jude Riordan, who plays Sam Blakeman, also wished Paddy a happy birthday, while his on-screen girlfriend Cait Fitton, who plays Lauren on the soap, echoed: “Hope you had the best birthday angel – forever love.”
