Coronation Street's Rob Mallard health woes will 'keep getting worse' amid on-set struggle
Coronation Street actor Rob Mallard, 30, has shared in an exclusive interview with Express.co.uk that the slight tremor that he developed in his hand at the age of 14 is in fact an essential tremor, a neurological disorder that causes involuntary and rhythmic shaking. And since first speaking publicly about it back in 2018, the condition has continued to worsen.The star, who has played Daniel Osbourne in the ITV soap since 2016 has experienced a rise to fame in the role, having won a British Soap Award for Best Newcomer back in 2017.Over the years, some beady-eyed viewers have picked up on Rob’s slight shake, which is down to an essential tremor he developed as a child.Speaking to Express.co.uk about his condition, which was diagnosed when the actor was in his mid-20s, Rob shared: “I first noticed I had a slight tremor in my hand when I was 14 and it steadily got worse as I got older.“I went to the doctors and they said it is an essential tremor but that there was nothing they could do.
