	Actors - Sam Aston

Samuel "Sam" Aston has played Chesney Brown in the UK soap Coronation Street since 2003.

Sam was born in 1993. His parents are called Janet and Richard. He has eight siblings, two of whom have also starred in Coronation Street. He is also an uncle to his sister Sarah's children. He has red hair and freckels. He lives in Lancashire.

Prior to playing Chesney, Sam went to drama school. He starred in an advert when he was six. He was in Where the Heart Is and The Bill before landing the role of Chesney and has since been in Stars in Their Eyes and Oliver Twist.

Sam has said of Bruce Jones, who plays his on screen stepdad Les, 'He's nice. He swears a lot though!'

Jennie McAlpine, who plays Sam's on-screen sister Fizz (Fiona) said that the scene in which Cilla arrived after having walked out on Chesney and Les and dragged Chesney and dog Schmichael down the street and Chesney begged Les 'please let me stay with you, uncle Les' was 'so emotional...his fantastic acting made everyone want to cry; it made me want to cry and I'm supposed to know he's only acting, it's not real!'

In 2004, Sam was named Best Newcomer at the National Television Awards. When accepting the award, he thanked his agent Carol.

In October 2005, Sam presented the Queen with a bunch of flowers at a party to celebrate 50 years of ITV1. The queen told Sam she was a fan of Coronation Street and asked if his real parents were as bad to him as his screen mum Cilla (played by Wendi Peters).

Sam is Britain's highest paid child soap star.
