The soap star landed the role of Norris back in 1994, when open auditions were held for the busy-body character.
After leaving the series in 1997 Hebden returned to the show in 1999 and has remained on the show ever since.
In 2009, it was noted that the character of Norris has become one of the show's most recognisable characters.

And over the two decades, Norris has had his fair share of drama.
Back in 2010, he was held captive by admirer Mary Taylor and last year he was dropped with a paternity bombshell after discovering he could have a secret son in Weatherfield.
MailOnline has contacted a Corrie spokesperson for comment.
