Former ITV Coronation Street Star, Earning £120k Annually, Finds Themselves Sleeping on Friends’ Floors Following ‘Propaganda’ Backlash

 

Former Coronation Street actor Sean Ward, once enjoying a prosperous career with an annual income of approximately £120,000, has undergone a dramatic turn of events.

The 35-year-old actor revealed that he now finds himself sleeping on friends’ floors, describing this period as “lonely and isolating.” In a social media post, he bravely shared his struggles, disclosing a suicide attempt in 2018 following a harrowing discovery about the world’s malevolence.

Sean expressed his intention to utilise his platform to “filter through the propaganda” that he believes has detrimentally affected his career.

He lamented, stating, “Transitioning from earning £120,000 a year to £12,000, and sleeping on a friend’s mattress, is a reality that most find unfathomable.

Actor Aims to Rebuild: Sean Opens Up About Struggles and Recovery Journey”

Sean candidly shared, “I’m still striving to create a life I can truly be proud of. It felt more like a moral imperative rather than a choice.” Reflecting on multiple instances of rebuilding in the past three years, he admitted, “I’ve had to pick myself up several times.”

Despite vowing a return to acting “at the right moment,” he confessed the hardship of losing everything he had worked for, describing it as a challenging spiral. Emphasising his commitment to health, he acknowledged the ongoing battle against using alcohol and drugs as a means of numbing himself.

“Humanlike” Situation: Sean, despite asserting he hasn’t engaged in such actions for months, expressed his pride in abstaining and commended others for doing the same. He concluded his statement with a heartfelt message: “You’re never alone. Our collective care sustains me. Thank you. Seany x.”

Sean faced criticism for his remarks on decisions made during the Covid-19 pandemic. Although departing from Corrie in 2015, he subsequently appeared on various TV programmes, including BBC One’s Our Girl.

After departing the soap, he candidly discussed his battles with porn and alcohol addiction. Later, he also revealed his struggles with severe depression. However, his career suffered a setback when he voiced opposition to the Covid-19 vaccine roll-out.

Sean has stood by his decision to speak out, citing his moral compass as the driving force behind his statement. Nevertheless, his viewpoints have remained a contentious topic.
