Sean Wilson, the former Coronation Street star known for playing Martin Platt, has married his partner of 10 years, Carol, in an intimate family ceremony in the countryside. The 61-year-old actor wore a navy blue suit with an orange waistcoat for the occasion.
Wedding Details and Social Media Shade
The couple shared a kiss outside the church as loved ones threw confetti and cheered before departing in a cream vintage car. Wilson announced the news on social media, writing, 'Guess what we did this weekend… a July wedding.' He added, 'Brought me my gorgeous Mrs Wilson… We had a gospel choir, and a church full of legendary (real) friends…' throwing subtle shade at those he considers not genuine. 'If we did it all again, it couldn't be better. Xxx.'
Abrupt Exit from Coronation Street
Wilson was suddenly removed from Coronation Street in August 2025 despite being set to return for Gail Platt's (Helen Worth) exit storyline. He had reportedly filmed scenes before being told he would not return, with no explanation given. A source told The Sun: 'It has come as a complete and utter shock to everyone – and his sudden exit has rocked everyone involved with Corrie.' The source added that Wilson was enjoying his time on set and was popular among the cast.
Replacement and Aftermath
His role in Gail's final plot was taken over by comedian John Thomson, who reprised his character Jesse Chadwick after 14 years. Wilson later returned to social media with a cryptic 'Xx' post, followed by a message thanking fans for their love. The actor, who played Martin Platt from 1985 to 2005, has not publicly commented on his axing.
