Coronation Street star Jude Riordan has said a big “goodbye” on social media as he looked forward to some exciting summer plans.
The youngster, who plays Sam Blakeman on the ITV soap, has been very popular with viewers since he joined and even won Best Newcomer at the NTAs in 2021.
Luckily for fans, he wasn’t saying “goodbye” to the soap, instead meaning Year 7 at school, as he has finished for the summer.

On his Instagram page, which is looked after by his mum, he posted “school’s out for summer” alongside the iconic Alice Cooper song.
Jude wrote: “Goodbye to Y7. Have a great summer holiday everyone who’s finished.”
He then gave a look at what he could be getting up to this summer, before returning to school in Year 8.
The young actor said he would be “going to NYC”, as well as relaxing and hanging out with his friends.
Jude asked his followers for recommendations for things to do when he heads out to New York.
