He publicly came out as gay in 2017, and said he had no intention of hiding his sexuality.
“I never planned to keep it quiet that I was gay,” he told Gay Times . “The only concern I had at first was if I’m with a female character, will an audience who knows I’m gay in real life believe it?
“But that was just my own fears because I do believe they will.”
The Sun has contacted a representative for for comment.
A year after going public with Matt, Rob bravely spoke out about living with an essential tremor and how it affected his audition for a role in .
He told Morning Live: “I went to the doctors and did roughly a year testing things – thyroid, brain scans because they were really unsure what it was.
“They came back and said I had an essential tremor and there was nothing they could do for me to ‘come back if your symptoms get worse and we can try and control them’.”
Having noticed the tremor in secondary school, it wasn’t until it worsened in his early 20s that he sought help.
He said: “Before I did Coronation Street I was in a couple of episodes of Emmerdale and the audition process for that, my agent rang me up and said ‘Strange one, they really like you, they’d like to offer you the part but they thought you were very nervous and they’re a bit worried about how that will work when you’re on set’.
“So at that point nobody knew what I had so I had to come out to my agent who then explained it to the casting at Emmerdale, and then they said ‘has he got coping strategies?’ and I said ‘yes absolutely, it’s just because of this being a high pressure situation in the audition, that’s why’, and so they gave me the job and that’s what led to Coronation Street.”
