Did Kyran Bowes have his leg amputated?
In real life Kyran Bowes did not have his leg amputated, but it was so realistic fans thought he had.
To create the impressive feat the soap used a Hollywood style green-screen technology to digitally erase Jack's lower leg with the use of a special sock.
A video showing the before and after process was posted on the soap's Facebook page.
Who else has played Jack Webster?
Jack Webster was originally played by twins Jaxon and Maddox Beswick when he first appeared on screen at his birth in September 2010.
Later that year another set of twins, Alex and Ellis, also joined the cast and acted alongside the Beswick twins.
In December 2014, Jaxon left the role, but his twin Maddox continued up until February 2016.
Kyran took over in May of that year and has remained in the role since.
Who is Jack Webster in Coronation Street?
Jack Webster is the son of Kevin Webster and the late Molly Dobbs in Coronation Street.
The seven-year-old is also the half brother of Kevin's daughters Sophie and Rosie Webster and the godson of Kevin's ex-wife Sally.
In 2015 he was abducted by Jenny Bradley when she returned to Coronation Street and started dating Kevin Webster.
Traumatised by the death of her own son who drowned when he was four, Jenny took Jack to Hull and contemplated jumping off a balcony with him before eventually returning him to Kevin.
How did Jack Webster get sepsis on Coronation Street?
Jack Webster contracted sepsis after grazing his knee while playing football with his half-sister Sophie.
He had been left with Sophie for the day and later felt unwell but she insisted that he should go to school.
Jack was then sent home from school and Seb and Faye found him slumped on the stairs.
Luckily Ali spotted the pair and urged them to get him help as quickly as possible.
Jack lost his leg to the deadly illness but managed to survive with the help of some excellent NHS hospital care.
He is currently looking at getting a blade prosthetic for his leg.
