Coronation Street's Rob Mallard Talks About His Real-Life Condition

Coronation Street star Rob Mallard has a real-life medical condition that is getting worse over time.

As his character Daniel's life gets out of control, Rob may have to include his condition in the show.

Rob has a condition called essential tremor, which affects over a million people in the UK. He was diagnosed at 14 and decided to talk about it to stop people thinking he had a drink problem.

Rob said his condition was getting harder to hide, so he decided to be open about it. He couldn't focus on acting while trying to hide his tremor.

Rob did a live TV interview and people thought he was drunk, but he actually has a tremor that is eight times more common than Parkinson's.

Rob had two coffees before a TV interview, which made his tremor worse. People online thought he had a drink problem, so he decided to be honest about his condition.

After the interview, Rob realized he needed to talk about his condition. He didn't want people to think he had a drink or drug problem.

Rob's condition may need to be part of his character's story in the future. He says it's a progressive disease that is getting worse over time.

If Rob's condition is included in the show, it could help raise awareness. Rob gets messages from young people who have the same condition.

Rob finds it hard to deal with the attention from talking about his condition. He's not used to being in the spotlight for this reason.

Rob's character Daniel is having a tough time in the show. His son accidentally sets his flat on fire, and he gets into a fight with Ken Barlow.

Rob plays the on-screen son of Ken Barlow, a soap legend.

Rob joined Coronation Street in 2016 as Ken Barlow's long-lost son. He thought his role would be short-lived, but it turned out to be a big part of the show.

Rob was part of a big storyline where his character was suspected of pushing Ken down the stairs. He thought he would be leaving the show, but the producers had other plans.

Rob had to rugby tackle Bill Roache, who plays Ken, during a scene. Bill was 84 at the time, but he was still very active and told Rob to go for it.

Rob says it was a surreal moment, and he couldn't believe he was tackling a TV legend.

In a recent episode, Daniel gets into a fight with Ken and elbows him in the face. Rob says it was an accident, but it's still a shocking moment.

Rob says Daniel's anger comes from feeling humiliated. He's been cheated on and duped by his girlfriend, and it's all taking a toll on him.

Rob loves the current storyline, which he says is going back to the roots of his character. Daniel's anger is justified, but he's also being self-pitying and not putting his son first.

Rob grew up in Oldham, Lancashire, and started his acting career in 2015. He played a rent boy in his first role, which made him worry about being typecast.

Rob had a scene in a police drama where he was discovered by the police in some bushes with an older man. He was worried about what his grandma would think.

Later in the week, tragedy will strike when Daniel is passed out on the sofa and his son is left to fend for himself.

Rob told his grandma about his acting job, but he was worried about what she would think of his role as a rent boy. She just said 'well done' and didn't want to talk about it.

Rob was cast in Emmerdale as a rent boy, but he broke the cycle when he landed the role of Daniel Osbourne.

Rob lives in rural Cheshire with his cockapoo puppy Poe. He likes slow living and got away from the city to have some fresh air and peace.

Rob lived in the city for ten years, but he found it hard being recognized. He's introverted and shy, and the fame aspect of his job is not his favorite part.

Rob says Coronation Street is a nice place to work, and he likes the 9-5 aspect of it. He can see himself working on the show when he's in his 70s and 80s.

Rob says Daniel's next partner should be an older woman. He'd love him to have an affair with Maggie, played by Pauline McLynn.

Rob and Pauline had a fun scene together where Maggie goosed Daniel. They always try to get a funny moment in when they're in scenes together.
