Paddy Wallace, 44, first made his Coronation Street debut in 2016 as Jude Appleton.

He stayed on the long-running serial drama for three years as a firm fan favourite.

On the show, he tracked down his long-lost mother Mary (Patti Clare) who was living on the infamous Salford street.

According to Instagram, the actor now works as Head of Sales at The Furniture Show.

His LinkedIn suggests that his role is based at the Clarion Events company in Manchester.

It is sure to be a busy time for the star who now has a high level role at the ‘UK’s largest trade show’.

The company’s Instagram profile says the event will return to the NEC in Birmingham in January 2025.

However, he is still in touch with his on-screen mother as he was pictured with her on social media.

Posting a beaming snap with his children and Patti on his Instagram grid page, he wrote: “A lovely morning catching up with my wonderful pal and other Mum! Inimitable @patti.clark5 x.”

On the soap, his character was abandoned as a baby and left on the steps of a hospital before he was adopted and raised by a loving family.

Three shock exits rock Coronation Street as a family is left mourning by the sudden loss

Mary previously tried to look for her son and Jude later uprooted his family to Weatherfield after his baby son George was born.

He later admitted that he lied to his wife Angie (Victoria Ekanoye), who soon threw him out of the house.

Jude was spotted in Blackpool in 2019 as Mary stood by her son, only to then be left £800 out of pocket after he conned her.

Coronation Street’s 2024 shock exits

Corrie has said goodbye to several cast members this year. Let’s break down who’s left the famous soap:

Eliza Woodrow (Savannah Kunyo) has said farewell to Corrie to start a new life in Germany.

The youngster moved to live with her dad Dom Everett, who went back on the £10,000 bribe Eliza’s grandfather Stu had offered to keep him out of her life.

Paul Foreman (Peter Ash) will bow out of the soap this summer when he loses his fight with motor neurone disease (MND) in tragic scenes.

After being diagnosed last year, the fan favourite was devastated to learn he only had months left to live.

Viewers know he is planning to take his own life to end his suffering.

Summer Spellman (Harriet Bibby) departed the cobbles after being offered the opportunity of a lifetime to study in America.

Though she struggled to decide with her stepdad Paul’s impending death from MND, she was convinced she had to live her life to the full.

Simon Barlow (Alex Bain) has struggled with the sudden departure of his father Peter from the cobbles.

The Weatherfield legend left his family and loved ones behind on Boxing Day, 2023, when his wife Carla Connor encouraged him to travel around the world with a friend.

Simon’s been on a downward spiral ever since and his exit could end in tragedy.

Alya Nazir is set to leave the cobbles as actress Sair Khan prepares to go on maternity leave ahead of the birth of her first child.

It looks likely she’ll be heading to Dublin after securing a lucrative new job, leaving her colleague and fling Adam Barlow behind.

Show stalwart Sue Cleaver, who plays Eileen Grimshaw, is taking a break to star in the Sister Act The Musical UK tour. She will be back filming in May once her dates on the tour come to an end.

Her character left the Street after her son Jason broke his back after falling off a moped in Asia.
