The actor, who played Callum Logan in the soap, sparked rumours he was homeless after revealing he has lost work, his home, and his possessions over his views against the Covid vaccine.
Sean had said: “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.”
What did Coronation Street star Sean Ward say?
He added: “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.”

To clarify I’m not homeless. Let’s not diminish what real issues people face and have to live with on our streets. The UK press are ridiculous at this point. I live with my mate in a lovely gaf albeit with no bed frame 😂
