Sweet baby cheeses, you just couldn't make it up. Ex-Coronation Street actor Sean Wilson, who played Martin Platt, has launched his own cheese. Yes, dear, cheese. After playing nurse Platt in Corrie for 20 years, Sean says he decided on a career change while waiting for new roles, and is delighted with his efforts so far.He told the Manchester Evening News: "I wanted to get out there and do something, instead of sitting and waiting for the phone to ring like actors do more and more now. I've always wanted to be involved in food. I've got something like 300 cookbooks at home. So I thought why not make a living out of it? The first batch of cheese will go on sale from next week in selected delicatessens and supermarkets, with Wilson hoping to open his own dairy by September. Wilson is making several varieties of the dairy footstuff under his Saddleworth Cheese brand.
