FORMER Coronation Street star Sean Ward has revealed his anti-vaxx views have cost him career and made him homeless.
The actor earned around £100,00-year as Coronation Street bad boy Callum Logan and starred in the BBC’s Our Girl military drama alongside Michelle Keegan.
Sean, 33, was nominated for The British Soap Award for Villain of the Year, The British Soap Award for Best Newcomer.
But he’s told how his life began disintegrating as he became a vociferous anti-vaxxer and he was even arrested at a protest in London last year.
In an Instagram post, he told fans how he’d lost everything for his beliefs: “Firstly the work dried up. 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 4 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 4 weeks of missing the payments – equating to about £500 – Safe store UK sold all belongings. My sofa, my bed frame, my office equipment, desk, chair, wardrobes, mirrors, all my coats and clothes and my projector.
“Everything to fill a family house. 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. I haven’t paid any rent to this man and it makes me extremely tearful when I think how amazing that really is.”
He also revealed he couldn’t afford to run his Honda Civic motor – dubbed his “beautiful Jenny” and it was seized by the DVLA for having no tax.
Sean added: “Was it all worth it? Yes! If I’ve saved one life then yes.
“Then the wonderful BBC (my biggest employer for the last 7 years of my acting career) decided to commission a documentary about me.”
He said the BBC had approached his sister to take part in the show but she had refused.
His pal and Waterloo Road star Adam Thomas replied with love hearts while Apprentice star Lottie Lion also sent him her support.
