Coronation Street's Antony Cotton nearly 'blew up' set and debt to Hollywood star

Antony Cotton is one of Coronation Street's most renowned faces and has been on the show for nearly 20 years.

The soap star has played Sean Tully on the Cobbles since 2003. The character was embraced into Eileen Grimshaw's family when he became the first male machinist at Underworld and has been a mainstay on the ITV show since.

Sean has endured a rollercoaster ride during his time on Weatherfield and one of his most dramatic storylines came when he agreed to impregnate Violet Wilson. This was under the condition that Sean wouldn't play a part in the child's upbringing, but he backtracked on the agreement when Dylan was born.
