Former Casualty hunk Richard– who played Caleb Knight – found TV fame in the BBC soap.

His character Caleb was stabbed to death by Scott Ellisson in Casualty in 2017.

He was killed during a fight while trying to protect his brother, Ethan.

Richard also starred in Hollyoaks as the sexy priest – Father Francis – who had an affair with Carmel McQueen (Gemma Merna).

However years before he landed a major role as a ballet dancer.

The star stripped off to appear as the lead in Matthew Bourne’s Swan Lake.

He said at the time: “I’m not a classical ballet dancer. 

“I never wanted to go into it or do classical ballets as such. That’s why Matthew Bourne’s company – in the early parts of my dance career — was absolutely perfect for me. 

“I saw his Swan Lake when I was in college and was just blown away. The level of narrative and story telling, the drama and passion behind it really hit me hard. That’s what I wanted- to become the lead, the star of his company. 

“I’ve been so fortunate and blessed that it happened.”

Richard will play brand new character Noah Hedley in Coronation Street.

The character first appeared this week on screen later this month as he comes to visit his friend Billy Mayhew (Daniel Brocklebank).

Noah’s arrival on the cobbles soon sends shivers down the spine of Theo Silverton (James Cartwright) who instantly recognises Noah as one of the members of the conversion therapy sessions that he used to be forced to attend by his religious parents.

Theo is spooked by Noah’s presence and soon reveals all to his boyfriend Todd Grimshaw (Gareth Pierce) about who Billy’s new pal really is.
