Viewers of the ITV soap saw Sam Blakeman being given the boot by Hope Stape during a recent visit to Weatherfield

Coronation Street star Jude Riordan has declared he’s been ‘dumped’ after his on-screen character had his poor heart broken in recent scenes. Viewers of the ITV soap saw Sam Blakeman being given the boot by Hope Stape during a recent visit to Weatherfield.

The youngsters only became each other’s first boyfriend and girlfriend last year, only to split over Hope’s upset caused by Sam’s friendship with Eliza Woodrow. They eventually decided to give their teenage relationship another go late in 2023.

However, during Monday night’s (August 5) Corrie, Hope informed Sam it was all over once again as she develops an interest in Jack Webster.

A stunned Sam asked Hope if they could say it was a mutual decision to split, only for her to laugh and say ‘no’, before leaving the flat where he lives with his dad Nick Tilsley and stepmom Leanne Battersby.

Following the scenes, Jude took to Instagram where he shared a photo of himself and Hope co-star Isabella Flanagan to his Stories and said: “Dumped,” before adding a heartbroken GIF. He then posted the same picture again and said: “Defo mutual and millions of people know that [crying laughing emojis]. Right?!

Isabella has since reshared the post to her own page and said: “Sozzz,” before adding to her Jack co-star Kyran Bowes: “Good luck @kyranbowes_official.” Their castmate also saw the funny side, reposting the apology with one of his own, saying: “@justjude7 Sorry,” with a winking face emoji as well as crying laughing faces.

It comes after Jude shared the snap of himself and Isabella to his Instagram page last week and fans warned him off as @laurieinqueens joked: “Beware, Sam… she’s always up to no good!!” and @gymmonster1 added: “Just read she’s going to dump you. Beware Sam.”
