Coronation Street star Rob Mallard has revealed that his essential tremor has has ‘got worse’.

The actor, who plays Daniel Osbourne in the ITV soap, first discussed his essential tremor – which is a nervous system disorder that causes involuntary shaking – back in 2018.

The 30-year-old star later explained on This Morning that he was diagnosed at the age of 14, but did not realise ‘how serious it was’ until he was in his mid-twenties.

‘You assume with shaking it’s an old people thing’, he told hosts Phillip Schofield and Holly Willoughby at the time.

‘It’s common in young people and often misdiagnosed as anxiety, or people may think your withdrawing from something, whereas it’s actually neurones in the brain that are firing incorrectly, causing involuntary shaking’.

Rob has opened up about living with an essential tremor in a new interview, revealing that it has ‘steadily got worse’.

‘It’s got worse,’ he told The Express.

‘It used to just be my hand but now the whole of my arm shakes, my legs shake, the back of my neck and head shake. It looks like I’m saying ‘no’ to everything all the time.’

The soap star told the publication that he manages it ‘with humour’.

‘You get very wound up in yourself so I just kind of take it with a humorous perspective,’ he said.

‘With work, they’re all aware of it. If there’s something that comes up or if I need to do something I’ll usually just practice and practice and practice.

‘But if I do shake and it’s very obvious I’ll just stop and say “can I go again?”

Rob has played Daniel Osborne, son of mainstay and legend Ken Barlow, since 2016.

He has featured in various huge storylines, with Daniel often at the centre of all the drama, and we wouldn’t have it any other way.
