ELEVEN-year-old Sam Blakeman has been staying with his father Nick Tilsley since the death of his mother Natasha.
One year after her murder, the Coronation Street youngster drops a mortifying bombshell on his dad and his partner Leanne Battersby.
The young boy portrayed by Jude Riordan was dealt with a huge loss when his mother was shot dead by Weatherfield criminal Harvey Gaskell in 2021.
The thug mistakenly killed Natasha when he was trying to go after Leanne for turning him to the police.
Coming up on ITV, Sam, his father Nick (played by Ben Price) and Leanne (Jane Danson) prepare to mark the anniversary of Natasha's death.
Leanne, who has received prison visit demands from Harvey, says she's going to the cash and carry – but instead sets off to see the gangster behind bars.
