Coronation Street and Peaky Blinders star reveals huge career change away from acting just months after quitting soap

CORONATION Street star Luke Delaney has swapped the cobbles for the kettlebells in a new career change.

Actor Luke appeared in the long-running soap as Dave Fairchild for 15 episodes.

The Peaky Blinders actor stepped away from Coronation Street a few months ago but he appears as though he has little time to rest.

The fitness fanatic is keeping busy in his downtime away from acting in the gym.

Soap star Luke has now launched a new health program and is looking to take on clients.

As a jobbing actor, the star’s new fitness role will allow him to maintain his physique for filming, after all his Coronation Street character was very physical, while also exploring another passion of his.

He launched Train with Luke yesterday, and he is hoping to onboard 10 individuals wanting to ramp up their fitness level and get into shape.

Taking to Instagram, he shared a post with the caption: “I’ve been working on this for so long now, and I’m excited to say we’re nearly ready to go live! 

“I’m not going to say much for now, as I’ll be dropping more info over the coming week or so.”

Although more details are yet to be released, he did tease that it will involve one-on-one coaching. 

Fans of the actor need not worry as, according to IMDb he has a few projects in the pipeline.

When he left Corrie, he praised the show on Instagram, thanking all involved with the ITV soap for their help and support over his six months of filming, ending the post with: “I’ve said it before but the support I’ve received both inside and outside of the show really has been overwhelming so thank you.

“Onto the next.”

Luke’s other acting credits include Hollyoaks and Emmerdale and until fan’s seen him again on screen, they can expect to find him in the gym.
