Paula Lane's husband joins Coronation Street

Tom Shaw, the husband of Paula Lane, who played Kylie Platt in Coronation Street, is joining the show!

Tom will be playing a new character called Kim who is a friend of Fiz from her days in care. He'll get in touch with Fiz and while she's happy to see him again, Tyrone's not best pleased to find out that Kim's a man.

Tom trained at The London Academy of Music and Dramatic Art (LAMDA) aged 18 and made his professional stage debut in the two-hander play "Sign of the Times" (as Alan) opposite Stephen Tompkinson. 

He became a father for the 1st time at age 28 when his wife Paula Lane gave birth to their son Arthur Wallace Shaw on 31 December 2014.

Tom has appeared in rival soaps Hollyoaks and Emmerdale previously.
