Inside Corrie bad boy Damon Hay actor Ciaran Griffiths' life - iconic roles and move to Oz

Actor Ciaran Griffiths might be best known for his iconic bad boy character Damon Hay in ITV's Coronation Street, but when it comes to his personal life, he appears to be a bit of a closed book.

Adam, following the affair, then decided to seek revenge and Damon was forced to leave Weatherfield.
