Shayne Ward: "Sick of being a sex symbol"

Shayne Ward, who plays Coronation Street's Aidan Connor, says this week that he's sick of being thought of as a sex symbol.

In an interview with The Sun this week, Shayne talks about the pressure on actors to “get in shape”.

He said:  “I’d rather stick to keeping my shirt on. It would take a lot to get me to take my kit off now. I’m happy just being in the factory with my shirt on. I’m just not into that whole sixpack thing. I think there is so much pressure to get in shape nowadays. I am just happy doing what I’m doing.”

Shayne is now dad to his and girlfriend Sophie Austin's first child, Willow.
