Real life of ITV Corrie's Sean Tully actor Antony Cotton including his famous actress mum who appeared in the soap

Antony Cotton will next year be celebrating his very own Coronation Street milestone. The actor, who is best known for playing Sean Tully in the ITV soap, will mark 20 years on the cobbles after making his debut in 2003.

Sean 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.
