Ex-Coronation Street star Sean Ward says he ‘lost it all’ after his anti-vax views left him unemployed

Former Coronation Street actor Sean Ward has claimed his anti-vax beliefs has left him unemployed and sleeping in a friend’s spare room.

Ward, who played Callum Logan on the ITV soap between 2014 and 2015, shared a series of lengthy Instagram posts detailing how he had lost his work, his four-bed home and his possessions as a result of his views against the Covid vaccine.

The actor, from Manchester, wrote: “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 my rent.

“So I gave up my 4 bed house and moved onto my friends couch. I had to put all my belongings into storage. After a while I couldn’t afford to pay the storage bill and after 4 weeks of missing payments… Safe Store UK sold all my belongings.”

Ward admitted that he ‘didn’t care about himself, or his life,’ just the anti-vax cause, and said the stress of losing his home and fighting for his beliefs has caused his teeth and hair to fall out.

He wrote: “I’ve been living with the worst teeth for a year now… I lost so much weight, I was mentally drained and felt so lost on my own. Was it all worth it? Yes!

“All I have ever done is try and create a safe space for people to discuss their issues together without judgement or fear of being called crazy”.
