Coronation Street star Andrew Still has become “super creepy” since taking on the role of stalker Justin, according to his friends and family.
The TV star first joined the Cobbles back in December where he bumped into loveable barmaid Daisy Midgeley following her shocking cancer scare.
Since then, the 29-year-old's character has developed into a vile stalker who has been making life hell for the influencer on the street for the past three months.

And things are about to take a turn for the worse after the brunette beauty took a stand against her assailant who has convinced himself that they are meant to be together.
In upcoming scenes, the bride-to-be's chilling stalker storyline is set to escalate into a horrific Katie Piper-inspired acid attack as Daisy prepares to walk down the aisle to her fiancé Daniel Osbourne.
ITV bosses have teamed up with The Katie Piper Foundation and Acid Survivors Trust International to tell the story so they could “highlight the devastating impact and long-lasting effects of such heinous attacks”.
Now, in an interview with Daily Star and other publications, the TV hunk has revealed that even his family are starting to feel uncomfortable around him after taking on the challenging role.
When asked what they made of his terrifying role on the soap, he confessed: “They all think I'm super creepy which obviously is this massive shock to them because I'm not that creepy in real life.
“I don’t agree with things with Justin or his actions, I think it’s disgusting but to play a bad guy you have to find the truth in the character.
“Nobody is the bad guy of their story so getting into that headspace where you kind of feel all of those emotions and all that pain and the rejection along with this was tough but hopefully it translates onscreen.
“But yeah, they all seem to think I'm creeping about,” he joked.
But they weren’t the only ones surprised by his dark role on the show, as the TV star admitted he felt “intimidated” by his character’s story arch.
Andrew went on: “I was pretty shocked. I had no idea it was going to go that far and to be honest I was a little bit intimidated because it’s such an awful crime and you really want to do it justice and give it the seriousness it deserves.”
Luckily, the star has found a way to leave the harrowing scenes at the studio after he shared his tactics to help relax away from the studios.
He explained that one thing he takes with him everywhere he goes is a Nintendo to help him decompress.
The actor confessed: “I'm a big gamer so I bring down my Nintendo Switch and bash through some of that to switch off for a little bit.”
