Former Coronation Street star Ryan Thomas has revealed he’s quit acting and is delivering burgers.
The 36-year-old played Jason Grimshaw in the hit soap from 2000 until 2016, before taking on the role of Rafael Humphreys in Neighbours two years later.
Speaking to the Mancs on the Mic podcast, the father-of-two opened up about his decision to quit acting.

“I started off acting, I started off in that game and I really lost the bug for it. I feel the reason for losing the bug is rejection and going to auditions and not getting them,” he explained.
Ryan admitted he received “negative comments towards me and my acting” while on Neighbours, adding: “I never got it in Corrie because I never had social media when I was in Corrie.”
“If I did, it was at the end but I was so established there that people saw me as fixtures and fittings, so I never really got that sort of negative criticism.”
