“Coronation Street’s Bobby Bradshaw (Jake Windass) shares a surprising link with a fellow soap star — his sibling.”
Bobby Bradshaw has become a well-known face on Coronation Street through his role as Jake Windass — and it turns out he comes from a remarkably talented family.
Jake, the son of Gary Windass (Mikey North) and Izzy Armstrong (Cherylee Houston), first appeared on the cobbles in 2013 after the former couple turned to surrogate Tina McIntyre (Michelle Keegan).
Although Gary and Izzy are no longer together, they continue to co-parent Jake. He currently lives with Gary, his wife Maria Connor (Samia Longchambon), and his stepbrother Liam (Charlie Wrenshall) at 5 Victoria Court.
The role of Jake was originally played by twins Harley and Layton Phoenix from 2013 to 2015. Seth and Theo Wild then took over between 2016 and 2018, before Bobby stepped into the part.
Jake has been at the heart of several dramatic storylines on the cobbles in recent years, reports the Mirror. Last year, he was revealed to be the one tormenting Lauren Bolton (Cait Fitton), repeatedly confronting her over the car crash incident.
In Thursday’s (February 12) episode set in Weatherfield, Jake managed to wind up Todd Grimshaw (Gareth Pierce) by teasing him about a love bite. The taunts pushed Todd to snap — just as Jake’s dad, Gary, walked in and demanded to know what was going on.
In the end, Gary defended his son, telling Todd, “You can’t exactly claim the moral high ground when you’re walking around with a massive hickey on your neck like a lovesick schoolgirl!”
Talent clearly runs in the family for Bobby, as his sister is Aurora Bradshaw, who plays Susie Price on Coronation Street. Susie is the daughter of Eva Price (Catherine Tyldesley) and the late Aidan Connor (Shayne Ward).
Aurora made her debut on the soap last year when Eva returned to the cobbles, taking over the iconic Rovers Return alongside Susie, her new partner Ben Driscoll (Aaron McCusker), his mother Maggie (Pauline McLynn), and his two children, Will (Lucas Hodgson-Wale) and Ollie (Raphael Akuwudike).
Here’s a rewritten version of your text with the same meaning and smoother flow:
Bobby shared his excitement about his little sister joining the soap on Instagram, writing: “The news is finally out!!! Congratulations to my little sister Aurora! She’s part of the new family, and her first episode airs on October 27th.”
Fans were clearly surprised to learn that Bobby and Aurora are siblings. One commented, “Wow, what a talented family.” Another added, “Aurora really does look like her brother Bobby.” A third remarked, “Every day is a school day—learn something new every day!”
