Coronation Street star Shayne Ward vows to keep his shirt ON as he is sick of being a sex symbol
Heartthrob reveals he's turned down big bucks deals to strip off for his fans as he slams 'pressure' on actors to 'get in shape'
SHAYNE Ward has just killed a lot of dreams stone dead by declaring he has no intention of getting his kit off any more.
The Corrie actor and former X Factor winner says he's sick of feeling like a sex object and feels there's too much pressure on actors to "get in shape".
The shaven-headed hunk, 32, plays love rat factory manager Aidan Connor in Corrie.
But fans of the soap shouldn't hold out hope for any more glimpses at Shayne's body, by the sounds of it.
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."
He added: “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.”
In October 2016, Shayne was the subject of a leaked sex video that showed him pleasuring himself.
He said of the experience: "I was young and foolish back then in 2013 and I was young and foolish in 2014 too, unfortunately I wrongly trusted the person I was speaking to at the time and was completely betrayed and catfished.
"It's not something that would happen now.
“I'm way too focused and driven to put myself in that risky situation, but I guess we live and learn," he concluded.
Shortly after that video came out, he became dad to his and girlfriend Sophie Austin's first child, Willow.
At the moment his Corrie character is continuing his secret fling with Maria behind the back of both their partners, Eva and David.
