Coronation Street has had its fair share of heartbreak and health battles - and one such came in the loss of Summer Spellman’s adoptive dad Drew.Drew was vicar Billy Mayhew’s ex-boyfriend, who found out he had multiple tumours in his lungs and brain in 2017 - and only had months to live.Drew was desperate to test Todd and Billy’s relationship when he first arrived on the cobbles, and later asked if they’d consider adopting Summer, before he sadly died of heart failure.What ensued was Drew’s homophobic mum fighting for custody of Summer, with Summer eventually allowed to stay with Todd and Billy.But where is Drew actor Tom Godwin now?

From his real-life relationship to his music career, Daily Star takes a look.Though he only appeared in nine episodes of Corrie, Tom has had an incredibly eclectic career.Along with acting, he plays guitar in the cover band Painter’s Radio, which “deconstructs classic pop, rock and soul” songs before “putting it back together with big harmonies”.The five-piece band have other day jobs, but have hosted a range of concerts which encourage audience participation.In one throwback snap of the band from 2013, Tom can be seen strumming his acoustic guitar in a baggy beige shirt and jeans while obviously delighting the audience.The star also co-ran a theatre company, before quitting to pursue acting full-time - but before that, he made his name as part of the Illusion Brothers mime act at Edinburgh Festival.

Coronation Street isn’t Tom’s only claim to Soapworld fame - he has also appeared in everything from EastEnders to Holby City.
