Coronation Street star gives first look at hot new love interest on Twitter

The newcomer has already begun filming

Coronation Street star Antony Cotton has given fans a first look at Sean Tully’s new love interest.

The actor has played machinist Sean since 2003.

Viewers watched recently as Sean discovered boyfriend Frank Bardsley’s true nature – and dumped him.

Sean had been repeatedly warned about Frank’s bullying nature but had refused to heed the warnings.

But when Frank turned on Sean’s son Dylan – and Sean caught him in the act – it was game over for him and Sean went back to the single life.

However that’s all set to change with Corrie bosses signing up a former The Bill star as his new love interest.

Antony has revealed that Robert Shaw Cameron, 46, has joined the cast.

The actor took to Twitter to share a snap of the pair together at Coronation Street’s recent summer party.

“I have just signed a new contract,” Antony told the Daily Star Sunday.

“I’ve always said that if they’re happy for me to be there, then I’m happy to be there. If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.

“I feel that even more nowadays because some work is thin on the ground. I am very lucky to be in a job.”
