Coronation Street's Antony Cotton has revealed how he landed one of UK television's most notable roles. He boldly penned a letter to the ITV chiefs making a request for employment and to his surprise and joy, this audacious move rewarded him with a key part in the much-loved soap opera.
Antony is known for playing Weatherfield's Sean Tully on the show having joined in 2003. Sean first appeared in Weatherfield while searching for somewhere to live and it is then that he found a home at No.11 with Eileen Grimshaw, where viewers still find him today.
And, following his sacking from a cosmetics firm, he became Underworld's first male machinist. He is now also a barman at the Rovers Return.
Over the years Sean has struggled to maintain a serious relationship. The two main loves of his life, sonographer Marcus Dent and vicar Billy Mayhew, left him for Maria Connor and Todd Grimshaw respectively, with the latter causing him to be kicked out of No.11 after twelve years.
