Coronation Street: Gary tells Laura he killed Rick Neelan
Coronation Street star Greg Wood is almost unrecognisable in a selfie that he shared on social media this week with his new girlfriend.
The actor, 42, is best known for playing loan shark Rick Neelan on the ITV soap, which he joined in 2009 – initially appearing for a year. He briefly returned in 2012 and 2019.
His character was killed off during his most recent stint on the show, with the repercussions of his death at the hands of Gary Windass still being felt in Weatherfield even now.
It’s been three years since Greg appeared on Corrie though and he looks quite different from his on-screen role in a recent photo shared with his followers on Instagram.

It showed Greg sporting salt and pepper hair as he smiled alongside a blonde woman, who according to the Sun, has been identified as his new girlfriend Clair Nuttall.
He wrote in the caption: “Today was a good day.” He included a red heart emoji in the post, with Clair using the same emoji in the comments section in response to it.

The Corrie alum appeared to go Instagram official with the post earlier this week of himself and Clair – who is a camera operator and award-winning documentary filmmaker.
The father-of-three first appeared on Clair’s account in May, after they had attended an event together – with it unknown how long the two of them have been dating.
It’s understood that Greg has three children with his ex-wife. He was also in a high-profile relationship with Sheridan Smith, now 41, which reportedly ended in around 2016.
