Coronation Street's Adam Rickitt pictured shifting kegs after career change
Coronation Street star Adam Rickitt has been pictured hard at work after a big career change.
The former soap star, who sporadically played the original Nick Tilsley in Corrie between 1997 and 2004, was seen lugging kegs and gin at his successful business in Knutsford, Cheshire.
The 44-year-old runs his passion project – Dexter and Jones, a craft beer/artisan gin/fine wine shop – with his Good Morning Britain correspondent wife Katy.
He co-runs the shop while still pursuing a career as a part-time actor, most recently popping up in Hollyoaks as Kyle Kelly a few years back.

"When it comes to craft beer, we are constantly on the hunt. From securing one-off lines by the biggest names in brewing, to seeking out the start-ups breaking new ground," it continued.
"When it comes to gins we focus on small batch distillers who make their drinks naturally without artificial flavourings, striving for the perfect botanical mix to tickle your tastebuds.

Big taste without the big price tag. In house we also serve amazing coffee by Grindsmith and delicious cakes made fresh each week by Stuart Thornley Cake Design."
Adam recently lifted the lid on his fertility struggles as he opened up on life with Katy, 38, and their dogs Rufus, Tallulah and Daphne.
He told that he has an autoimmune disorder that affects his sperm count.
"I have an autoimmune disorder called Ankylosing Spondylitis and one of the effects is decreased fertility," he revealed.

“I know having kids is very important for a lot of people, so it’s almost a good thing it happened to us."
"That’s how I knew that Katy was my soul mate," Adam said.
"We’re all brainwashed with the idea you have to have kids, but we were so in love that when we found out that I couldn’t, it wasn’t scary at all.
“It felt natural that it was meant to be just the two of us and our dogs."
