There's nothing we love more than delving into the real lives of our favourite reality stars/soap stars/film actors/celebs in general
We're a bit nosy like that.
So when we discovered that there are two soap star BROTHERS currently working on Coronation Street AT THE SAME TIME with no prior warning or announcements, we were quite seriously shooketh.
It turns out that Matt Milburn, who plays Weatherfield County footballer Tommy Orpington, and Greg Wood, who plays loan shark Rick Neelan, are actually brothers IRL.
Although they've never shared any scenes together, Matt has been starring on the show since 2016 as semi-famous footballer Tommy Orpington and Greg has been acting on the show on and off since 2009.
Not only that, but both brothers have had roles onHollyoaks and Emmerdale, too. 'Oaks fans will instantly recognise Greg as bad boy Trevor Royle who was tragically killed on his wedding day to Grace Black, and some may even remember Matt's character Joe Spencer from 2003-6.
