Who plays Corey Brent in Coronation Street?

Maximus Evans plays Corey Brent in Coronation Street.

He made his debut two years ago when he appeared as Asha Alahan's school crush, before pressuring the 15-year-old to strip for him during a video call.

The footage was then shared by classmate Kelly Neelan and ended up being leaked online.

Despite playing one of the most hated characters on Corrie, Maximus originally auditioned for the role of Seb.

"I auditioned for Corrie a couple of times throughout the years," he told Digital Spy.

"I actually got very close to playing Seb when that role first came up.

"I actually screen tested for Seb when that first came up.

"I was saying this to Harry and we thought it was really funny how it's really full circle now."
