Coronation Street actor Peter Ash has opened up about the challenging part of portraying Paul Foreman\u2019s MND storyline in the ITV soap.<\/p>\n
Earlier this year, viewers watched as Paul started to struggle with mobility in his hands, which resulted in him going to the doctors to get to the bottom of it.<\/p>\n
After tests, it was revealed he\u2019d been diagnosed with MND as he\u2019s been developing more symptoms over time.<\/p>\n
More recently, he\u2019s been having trouble with his leg, as he\u2019s taken to using a wheelchair after having a few nasty falls.<\/p>\n
Speaking exclusively to Express.co.uk and other media publications, Peter Ash detailed his experiences filming Paul\u2019s MND journey as it progresses.<\/p>\n
