One former Coronation Street star claims he is now “homeless” with no job after his acting work dried up.
Sean Ward shared his controversial anti-vax views with the world during the Covid-19 pandemic, and was ‘arrested’ at a protest in September 2021 when demonstrators clashed with police. The former soap star, who was once earning £120,000 a year, now says he has had to give up his four-bedroom house.
Sean says he is now sleeping on friends’ floors on a mattress because he was unable to afford rent, and had to give up his belongings because he could not afford to store them. He now claims to be earning just £12,000 per year.

In a post on social media, the actor claimed: “I know deeply how lonely this can be and isolating, after trying to take my own life in 2018 after discovering the evil on this planet and no one caring. I decided using whatever s**tty little platform I’d built through my acting career to at least try sieve through the propaganda together and thereby sabotaging my own reasonably successful career – to go from earning 120K a year to 12K a year, sleeping on a mate’s mattress is actually unfathomable to most people.

“I’m still building a life to feel proud of. It wasn’t much of a choice though as far as I’m concerned, but something of a moral necessity. And, of course, for the resourceful, there’s always more than one way to earn a living, and I’ve built myself back up many times over the last [three] years when all hope was lost, so it doesn’t feel like I’ve thrown away very much in fact.”
Sean said he wants to “return to acting when the time is right”, adding: “But my inner pain losing everything that I built was hard and I have admittedly spiralled out of control many times. Especially after losing my Grandad. So it’s still an ongoing process not to numb myself with alcohol and drugs. I haven’t fallen into that horrible path now for months.
“So I am proud of myself and anyone else feeling the same. You’re never alone. We all have shown we care. And that keeps me going. Thank you. Seany x,” he concluded.

actor originally said acting work “dried up”, telling his Instagram followers: “No one would hire me whether in front of or behind the camera, all my usual ways of making money just stopped, eventually I couldn’t afford the rent.
“So I gave up my [four] bed house and move onto my friend’s couch. I had to put all my belongings into storage. After a while I couldn’t afford to pay the storage bill and after about four weeks of missing the payments – equating to about £500 – Safe Store UK sold all belongings.”

The actor went on: “My whole life was in that storage unit. I lost it all. I was devastated but I couldn’t ask anyone for help because it was my choice to speak out.
“Luckily I got my mattress out in time and I’ve been sleeping on that in a friend’s spare room for over a year now. He has given me a safe space when I really needed it.” Sean says he hasn’t paid any rent, and his car was seized by the DVLA due to being untaxed.
