The Joel Deering actor has become Coronation Street’s latest villain, however, in real life he is flying high after recently popping the question to his girlfriend of three years
From getting Roy Cropper framed for murder to beating Lauren Bolton so badly that she went into hiding.
He played a character called Conor Henson in one episode of Holby City back in 2019 and in an episode of Doctors as Chez Wilson-Needham that same year.More recently, he joined the cast of Coronation Street in 2023 to play Joel Deering - the former solicitor fiancé of Dee-Dee Bailey who is the father of Lauren Bolton's son Frankie.
Leaving the entertainment business Calum was ready to pack his bags and leave his acting career behind because he didn’t think he would get a job that would pay the bills. “I was getting to the age where we wanted to save up for a house. And I just thought, ‘98% of actors don’t act full-time. Unfortunately, I think I’m in that 98%’.”
“Unless you're in the top one per cent. It's a hustle. That's what a lot of theatre actors struggle with. They love theatre, but it only pays enough to cover your rent while in you're in the job...You've then got to go back to waiting tables.” In the caption, he wrote: “About time I made an honest woman of her. Celebrated with drinks in the hot tub but Roberta thought it would be funny to remove my swimming shorts from the suitcase. Thanks @dolly_rose_campbell for lending me your spare cossie. I think I rocked it tbf.”
