CORONATION Street star Vinta Morgan has revealed his dad is a secret pop star – who quit fame to have a family.

The actor – who plays Ronnie Bailey in the ITV soap – has opened up about family life and growing up.

Vinta made his debut on the cobbles in 2021 as Ed Bailey’s brother Ronnie – but he’s not the only famous face in his family.

The star’s father achieved fame as a popstar as Tony Morgan and the Mussel Power Band releasing two singles in the 70s.

However he gave up chasing fame in order to raise Vinta.

“My dad had this mantle of being the one with the snaky hips dancing across the floor,” he told the Mirror.

“But they both put those things away to provide for the family.

“He became a chef and my mum became an occupational therapist.”

Meanwhile Vinta also opened up about his own changing careers before finding fame.

The actor was working as a cleaner when he landed the role of businessman Ronnie back in 2021.

He said: I had an issue at my house with an uninvited guest and I called out pest control.

“I’m quite gregarious and like a chat and the guy told me he could do with some extra help.

“He said he’d bought this sanitisation equipment from America and he’d got a contract and I could be the man who could help him.

“So, whereas everyone else was walking away from Covid, we were walking into the eye of the storm with our masks and overalls and packs on our backs, spraying and sanitising offices in the middle of the night.

“It was quite strange. It felt like we were in a movie – that’s how I sold it to myself!”
