I’m homeless, my teeth are falling out and my career is over because of my anti-vaxx views, moans Corrie star Sean Ward
FORMER Coronation Street star Sean Ward has whinged his anti-vaxx views have cost him his career and left him homeless.
The actor earned around £100,000-year as Corrie bad boy Callum Logan and starred in the BBC’s Our Girl military drama alongside Michelle Keegan.
Sean, 33, was nominated for The British Soap Award for Villain of the Year, The British Soap Award for Best Newcomer.
But he’s told how his life started disintegrating as he began slamming the vaccine rollout - which has so far seen 71 per cent of the UK population protected from severe cases of the virus.
Earlier this month NHS England revealed the jabs have saved 127,000 lives in England alone.
The vaccines are safe and effective and give the best protection against Covid.
Studies have shown the jabs reduce your risk of getting seriously ill or dying from the disease, they reduce your risk of catching or spreading it and protect against variants.
Covid booster jabs protect against Omicron and offer the best chance to get through the pandemic, health officials have repeatedly said.
The Sun's Jabs Army campaign is helping get the vital extra vaccines in Brits' arms to ward off the need for any new restrictions.
In an Instagram post, Sean told fans how he’d lost everything: “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.
"After a while I couldn’t afford to pay the storage bill and after about 4 weeks of missing the payments – equating to about £500 – Safe store UK sold all belongings.
"My sofa, my bed frame, my office equipment, desk, chair, wardrobes, mirrors, all my coats and clothes and my projector.

“Everything to fill a family house. 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.
“Luckily I got my mattress out in time and I’ve been sleeping on that in a friend’s spare room for over a year now.
"He has given me a safe space when I really needed it. I haven’t paid any rent to this man and it makes me extremely tearful when I think how amazing that really is.”
Sean, who was arrested at a protest in London last year, added: "I kept pushing on. Then the stress mounted so much much my teeth began to fall out.
"I know this is hard to understand but it's true. I've been living with the worst teeth for a year now, then my beard began to fall out.
"I lost so much weight, I was mentally drained and felt so lost on my own. Was it all worth it? Yes!"
He also revealed he couldn’t afford to run his Honda Civic motor – dubbed his “beautiful Jenny” and it was seized by the DVLA for having no tax.
Sean added: ““Then the wonderful BBC (my biggest employer for the last 7 years of my acting career) decided to commission a documentary about me.”
