Coronation Street star Charlie Condou is selling his old clothes to fans, as the pandemic has halted his acting work.
The 48-year-old actor, who previously played Marcus Dent on the ITV soap, plugged his unwanted wardrobe on Twitter.
Charlie departed from the cobbles back in 2014, before going on to work on Holby City.
He left his role of Ben Sherwood on the BBC medical drama last year.
Since then, Charlie has found it difficult to secure work due to the coronavirus pandemic.

Charlie Condou opens up about working as a waiter
Meanwhile, Charlie has always been open about his struggles as an actor.
He told the Sunday People how after leaving Corrie he had a successful run of work in the theatre and on television.
However, his luck soon changed.
He decided to go and work in a friend’s restaurant as a waiter in order to pay his bills.

Charlie explained: “I worked as a waiter for a month or so and people recognised me all the time.
“Somebody said to me, ‘Oh, aren’t you embarrassed?’ I thought, no, because I don’t really consider being a waiter a less of a job than being an actor. You get paid less and it’s harder work but there’s nothing about it that’s inferior.”
