'Coronation Street' star Sam Aston has said that he doesn't get any attention from young female fans.

The 15-year-old actor, who plays schoolboy Chesney Battersby-Brown in the show, told The Mirror that his character is more popular with "old ladies".

Aston said: "I haven't really had any attention from girls since I joined the show."

"Chesney is more of a geeky guy to be honest, so old ladies over 65 are my biggest fans. They stop me in the street and say 'I'll look after you'."
