Ex-Corrie actor wins World's Best Cheese Award

Sean Wilson, who played Martin Platt on Coronation Street, has won a World's Best Cheese Award for his Saddleworth cheese.

Sean established The Saddleworth Cheese Company in 2009 and last week one of his cheeses, Smelly Apeth, won the the 'Best blue cheese in silver foil' award at the World Cheese Awards in Birmingham.

"I am delighted it did so well and beat so many other great cheeses from around the world," Wilson told the Daily Star Sunday. "I only entered it at the last minute after I tasted a batch and realised it was absolutely gorgeous."
