Former Coronation Street star Chris Fountain flooded with support as he opens up about being 'cancelled' overnight
Former Coronation Street star Chris Fountain has been flooded with support from his celebrity pals and followers as he revealed how being sacked from the ITV soap caused his mental health to spiral. The actor played Tommy Duckworth in the ITV soap from 2011 to 2013.
After speaking out on his exit for the first time last May, Chris has now sat down with friend Scott Thomas on his Learning As I Go podcast. During the chat, Scott addressed Chris' rise to fame as the 'golden boy' in Hollyoaks to when he was effectively 'cancelled overnight'. "I’ve developed a level of resistance that is untouchable now," he said as he teased his career comeback plans. "The amount of stuff that's happened, you can keep throwing it at me and I'm going to keep getting up."
He has since undergone heart surgery in May and at the time he gave his social media followers an update from his hospital bed as he assured his followers that the surgery had gone well. After resharing Scott's post about his podcast interview, Chris was flooded with support. Former Corrie co-star Ryan Thomas, who is also Scott's older brother, shared the clip advertising the chat to his Instagram Story and wrote: "Can't wait to see your dreams come true @fountain1987."
