Corrie's Martin Platt 'summoned to head office' before leaving soap for 'personal reasons' (Image: Instagram ) Coronation Street’s Sean Wilson left ITV viewers shocked after it was reported he had exited the popular soap opera . It has been said that the 59-year-old who played Martin Platt was “summoned to head office” before his final walk down the cobbles. According to reports, Sean, who first starred on Corrie 20 years ago, has left for “personal reasons” after a rep confirmed the news earlier this week.

Although just weeks ago he was posing with scripts and updating fans on what he was up to on set. Sean was set to make a huge return nearly two decades after he had left. This was as part of his ex-wife Gail Platt's exit as she leaves at the end of this year.

Helen Worth, who plays Gail, has been part of the Coronation Street family for half a century after joining back in 1974. The 73-year-old will retire this October. function loadOvpScript(){let el=document.
