Aston: 'The only women I meet are 65'

Coronation Street star Sam Aston has revealed that his female fan club is made up of OAPs who want to "look after" him.

The 15-year-old, who plays the loveable Chesney Battersby-Brown, told The Mirror: "I haven't really had any attention from girls since I joined the show.

"Chesney is more of a geeky guy to be honest, so old ladies over 65 are my biggest fans. They stop me in the street and say 'I'll look after you'."

Aston, who recently signed a new 12-month contract with the soap, entered the Street in 2003 as the son of Cilla Brown. Speaking about his salary, the actor said he saves what he gets for when he is older.

Aston is the youngest of nine siblings and remains at school. His mum, Janet, said stardom has not gone to his head, adding: "I don’t think the others would let him get above himself."
