Sean Wilson

Wilson also became a chef after leaving Coronation Street. He has cooked in several Michelin-starred restaurants, and is also a cheesemaker and purveyor of cheesy comestibles with his own business, Saddleworth Cheese Company. His book The Great Northern Cookbook was published in 2012. The accompanying TV series was shown on Channel 5, starting in January 2013. In 2018, Wilson reprised his role as Martin Platt in Coronation Street for a few episodes.

Wilson joined the cast of Coronation Street as Martin Platt. The character was 18, had left school and taken a job at the cafe managed by Gail Tilsley. Five years later, Gail was a widow and he became involved with her romantically. They married, divorced, and in between he became father to David Platt. Wilson has said the main reason for leaving the serial in 2005 because producers informed him Martin had to re-marry Gail. He subsequently appeared in several other UK television dramas, including an appearance in Waterloo Road as Darren Briggs, Sr, a student's father whose crush on teacher Davina Shackleton gets out of hand.
