ITV Coronation Street star sleeping on friend's floor after 'speaking out' cost them £120k salary

An ex-ITV Coronation Street star who made £120k a year for starring on the show says he now sleeps on his friends’ floors after claiming that ‘speaking out’ cost him his livelihood.

Sean Ward played Callum on the Weatherfield-based show before leaving the programme. During the pandemic, the 35 year old clashed with some of his fans after sharing his anti-lockdown views on Twitter, which is now called X.

The TV star claims that he ‘lost everything he built’ and went from earning ‘120K a year to 12K a year.’ But despite this, he doesn’t regret ‘speaking out’ and claims he shared his controversial views because he felt it was a ‘moral necessity.’ In August of 2021, the Sun reported that Sean was arrested during an anti-vaccination protest in London.

The BBC Our Girl star, who acted alongside Michelle Keegan, was forced to give up his four bed house. Sean took to Instagram to share his experience alongside a picture of him on a red carpet during the peak of his acting career.
