Former Coronation Street star Adam Rickitt flaunts his muscular physique in a tight grey top

Adam Rickitt showed off his incredibly muscular physique on Sunday in a tight grey sports top after landing a new soap role 20 years after his Coronation Street debut.

The former Hollyoaks star, 44, showcased his toned arms and slender mid-riff as he was spotted stacking up deliveries at his craft beer shop Dexter and Jones.

Adam, who previously starred on Coronation Street in 1997, is now making a return to the screen in BBC’s soap Doctors.

The actor showed off his long brunette locks slicked back behind his ears as he beamed outside his beer shop.

He was all smiles in his sportswear attire as he donned a pair of grey shorts and black trainers.

Adam starred in Corrie from 1997 to 1999 and then from 2002 to 2004. 

According to The Sun, an insider reported: ‘Adam was amongst the best soap actors in the country so it was only a matter of time before he landed a new role.’

‘He’s really excited to get started on Doctors and bosses can’t wait to see how viewers react to him.’

‘Adam has spent a lot of time working on his bar but is in a position to get back to acting now.’

Last year the star was scammed out of ‘tens of thousands of pounds’ from a cunning bank fraud.

In an emotional video, Adam told his followers how he thought he was rather ‘savvy’ when it came to security but admitted he was completely duped by who he believed was the fraud team at Barclay’s bank, remarking: ‘They knew EVERYTHING about me’.
