Coronation Street<\/a> actor Sean Wilson is a married man.<\/p>\n

The 61-year-old, best known for his role as Martin Platt in the ITV soap, has married his longtime love, Carol, in an idyllic countryside wedding.<\/p>\n

In photos shared on Facebook, Sean sported a dark blue suit and an orange waistcoat, while his bride, Carol, wowed in a white wedding gown.<\/p>\n

Carol wore a figure-hugging gown, with a square neckline. She swept her blonde locks into an updo, letting her bangs frame her face in neat waves.<\/p>\n

The bride carried a bouquet of summery flowers, notably sunflowers for a pop of colour. Another photo of the newlyweds shows them kissing outside of the church.<\/p>\n

Sean and Carol, who have been together since 2019, were seen beaming from ear to ear as they sat in the back of a cream vintage car.<\/p>\n

Expressing his happiness, Sean wrote: ‘Guess what we did this weekend\u2026 a July wedding. Brought me my gorgeous Mrs Wilson\u2026 <\/p>\n

‘We had a gospel choir, and a church full of legendary (real) friends\u2026 If we did it all again, it couldn’t be better. Xxx.’<\/p>\n

Sean was a stalwart of Coronation Street from 1985 to 2005. He returned for a brief cameo in 2018.<\/p>\n

In 2024, he was set to return to Corrie as Martin Platt to reunite with his on-screen wife Helen Worth for her character, Gail Platt’s, departure from the show.<\/p>\n

However, the storyline was scrapped because of an unfounded sexual assault claim against him. In January 2025, he was quoted as saying: ‘I didn’t watch it. I was away in Africa for Christmas. I’m trying to get back to normal. It’s a case of taking each day at a time.’<\/p>\n

The actor shared his hope that the circumstances surrounding his sudden Corrie exit don’t have an adverse effect on his acting career going forward.<\/p>\n

‘We are hoping everything that’s happened won’t affect my career. My agent and I are working hard on trying to create a continuing stream of work. We are\u00a0trying to find our feet again,’ he said.<\/p>\n

‘I’m not the one levering any situation. I’m an actor, and if people come and knock on my agent’s door, I listen to them.’<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Coronation Street actor Sean Wilson is a married man.
