SEAN Wilson has broken his silence following his shock axe from Coronation Street.
Earlier this year, the actor delighted fans when he announced he was returning to the cobbles as part of Helen Worth’s exit as Gail Platt.
However, The Sun later revealed how Sean was called into a meeting with ITV execs last month and abruptly axed.
Soap bosses declined to give any explanation, insisting that the 59-year-old had “stepped down for personal reasons”.
A source previously told us: “A lot of people at Corrie didn’t know Sean had gone.
“Whatever it is, lawyers are involved because very senior soap bosses are not allowed to discuss it.”
Now Sean has broken his silence – as he took to social media to thank fans for their supprt.
Sharing a snap of a light up ‘love’ sign, he said: “Thanks for all the love xxx.”
Fans flooded him with support, with one replying: “Absolutely gutted that Martin will not be coming back for Gail’s leaving story. I do hope you’re okay Sean and wish you all the very best.”
A second wrote: “Mate! I’m gutted. So disappointed. Hope you’re ok my friend.”
“Gail deserves a better ending than the one she’s going to get now,” said a third.
While a fourth commented: “I think pretty much everyone who liked your character is disappointed at the outcome but as long as you’re OK then that’s all that matters.”
Sean left his role as Martin Platt in Coronation Street in 2005 and later retrained as a chef.
He briefly reprised his role in 2018 as Martin said goodbye to his son David and relocated to New Zealand.
