Ex Coronation Street heartthrob looks unrecognisable after leaving the soap and having a surprise career change


A former Corrie heartthrob has had a surprise change of career and looks unrecognisable today.

He previously told the Manchester Evening News: 'From day one, we’ve found this shared passion for taking weary and underperforming pubs with bags of potential and breathing new life into them, bringing them back into the community, creating places that people love to be in. He set up home in the city's trendy Northern Quarter, known for its vibrant street art, bustling restaurants, bohemian bars and independent record shops. Rupert (top left) is married to his former Corrie co-star Jenny Platt, who played his on-screen love interest Violet Wilson (right) (pictured with Anthony Cotton as Sean Tulley in 2007)
