The 'Coronation Street' actor recently married Briony - whom he met as a teenager - in May, and he admitted his wife will never let him forget that their relationship got off to a rocky start.

Sam, now 26, told the Sunday Mirror newspaper: "Briony and I met when I was about 15 or 16. We talked through MSN messenger and then went on a date. We got together, but we were very young.

"I ended it - which she always likes to bring up. We lived quite far from each other and because we were so young, neither of us drove," he continued.

"We went to different schools and at weekends had different hobbies. I was in 'Corrie' too, so I had filming. We just didn't see enough of each other. We split, but there was nothing bitter about it."

Sam - who has appeared on the cobbles since 2003 - revealed the pair reunited a few years later at a drama workshop, and rediscovered their spark.

He added: "Three or four years later we were both helping out at the same drama workshop. Carol Godby's acting school, which is where I started as a youngster.

"I was teaching and Briony was in the room next door. I think she might have given me a funny look when I first walked in, but we soon got past that and straight away we got talking.

"We went for a meal that night at a country pub and that was it. We've been together ever since."

The loved up couple tied the knot at Stock Farm in Cheshire earlier this year surrounded by their family and friends, including several of Sam's 'Corrie' co-stars.

Katie McGlynn (Sinead Tinker), Brooke Vincent (Sophie Webster), Alan Halsall (Tyrone Dobbs) and Mikey North (Gary Windass) were all in attendance to see the pair, who have been engaged since June 2017, become husband and wife.
