CORONATION Street’s Sean Wilson looked as he hosted a cooking demonstration after swapping showbiz for a cheese business.
The 57-year-old made an appearance at the Royal Cheshire County Show and was worlds away from his former character Martin Platt.
Sean now runs his own company – Saddleworth Cheese – and has cooked for a number of Michelin starred restaurants.
He looks very different these days, sporting shorter, blond hair instead of Corrie character Martin’s trademark darker locks.
Martin released his first book, The Great Northern Cookbook, in 2012 – and had an accompanying Channel 5 TV series released in 2013.
And he’ll release another cookbook at the end of the year.

Sean, who quit the Cobbles in 2005 and made a brief appearance in 2018, previously opened up about his decision to walk away from the job.
Sean was said to have been axed from the show after he refused to take part in a storyline which saw his character get romantically involved with a teenage girl.
He wrote The Great Northern Cook Book of his decision to leave – explaining: “By 2005 I knew my tenure on the Street had to end.
“An editorial decision was made that Martin should embark on an underage relationship, something that made me uncomfortable.
“I picked up my coat and left in September in that year ending 21 years of massive fun with a fabulous on-set family.
“I will act again, but never with Corrie.”
