Sean Wilson, who played Martin Platt on Coronation Street, has married his partner Carol, and posted about the gorgeous day on social media, along with a barb about ‘real friends’
Coronation Street star Sean Wilson swapped walking down the cobbles for walking down the aisle as he tied the knot in a stunning summer wedding.
The actor, who played Martin Platt from 1985-2005, said ‘I do’ to partner Carol, as they shared the photos in a post that also included a dig about “real friends”.
61-year-old Sean married his partner of seven years, Carol, over the weekend. He posted pics from their countryside wedding to Facebook, where he wore a dark blue suit and and orange waistcoat. The pair were also seen kissing outside of the church and smiling next to a vintage car.
In the caption, the actor-turned-cheesemaker seemed to hit out at those left off the guest list: “Guess what we did this weekend… A July wedding. Brought me my gorgeous Mrs Wilson. We had a Gospel choir. And a church full of legendary (real) friends. If we did it all again, it couldn’t be better.”
The comments were filled with well-wishes and congratulations from fans. One said they were “wishing you both many many years of happiness” and another said they “hoped you had a beautiful day”.
The wedding comes just over a year and half after Sean was supposed to reunite with onscreen wife Helen Worth on Corrie, as she departed the show on Christmas Day 2024. But the storyline was scrapped after Sean was hit with a sexual assault claim, which was later dropped with no further action taken against the actor.
At the time, Greater Manchester Police said: “After consultation with senior detectives, the suspect in this case was released with no further action.
“The victim has been kept up to date and supported throughout the investigation. As in any case of this nature, any new information will be investigated. We take all allegations of sexual assault with the utmost of importance.
“If you or someone you know has been a victim of sexual assault, we encourage you not to suffer in silence and report it to the police by calling 101 or 999 in an emergency. For more information and to find the support services available to you, please visit our support pages.”
Describing what happened to the Sun, Sean said: “My reputation was ruined in just eight minutes – my whole world blown apart. I had no idea who had made this complaint or anything about it but I lost my job.” He described the experience as “hell,” adding: “How do you tell your children that you’ve been wrongly accused of this?” When approached by the Sun following their interview with Sean, ITV declined to comment.
When the Christmas 2024 episode aired, Gail left Weatherfield for France with her new husband Jesse Chadwick (John Thomson). Sean revealed to the Daily Star that he did not watch the show. “I was away in Africa for Christmas,” he said. “I’m trying to get back to normal. It’s a case of taking each day at a time.”
Since leaving the show, Sean went on to become a cheesemaker and has launched his own cheese shop called Artisan Farm in 2009. He has also written a number of cookbooks.
