A Journey from the Cobbles to Success
Coronation Street fans have watched Kyran Bowes grow up on screen, but this time, it’s his real-life triumph that’s capturing hearts. Known for playing Jack Webster since 2016, the young actor has been a part of some of Weatherfield’s most emotional storylines. Now, away from the cameras, he’s celebrating a personal milestone that has left his co-stars full of pride and admiration.
The Role That Made Him a Fan Favourite
Kyran first joined Coronation Street at a very young age, taking over the role of Jack Webster, the son of mechanic Kevin Webster and the late Molly Dobbs, who tragically died in the Weatherfield tram disaster. Over the years, viewers have seen Jack face one of the toughest storylines on the show: his battle with sepsis, which ultimately led to a life-saving amputation.
This heart-wrenching chapter became one of the soap’s most memorable moments, and Kyran’s raw, emotional performance earned him widespread praise. Fans connected deeply with Jack’s strength and resilience, admiring the young actor’s ability to bring so much depth to the character.
Kyran’s Big Announcement
But while his on-screen life has been full of struggles, Kyran has been working hard behind the scenes on something entirely different — and last week, he finally shared his life-changing news. Taking to Instagram on A-Level results day, the actor revealed that he earned an incredible set of grades in his Extended Diploma in Sports Coaching and Development.
“The results are in… I am incredibly proud to say I received a Distinction Star, Distinction, Distinction,” Kyran wrote in his heartfelt post.
He went on to thank his tutors, friends, and family for supporting him throughout the journey, while also highlighting his passion for sports — from playing football and refereeing children’s matches to helping out at local sports clubs during holidays.
