Career
Thomas has been nominated for various "Sexiest Male"-type awards. He also won the award for Rear of the Year in 2008.[1]
Besides playing Jason Grimshaw in Coronation Street, Thomas has also taken part in many programmes related to the soap opera. In 2012, Thomas took part in a documentary called Corrie Goes to Kenya, with Brooke Vincent who plays Sophie Webster in the soap, Sue Cleaver, who plays his on-screen mother Eileen Grimshaw and Ben Price who plays Nick Tilsley.[2] He said that his time in Kenya changed him as a person and made him realise how much he has in life. In the documentary he had to take part in the killing of a goat, which is seen as an honour in that country.[3]
Thomas left Coronation Street in 2016 to pursue a career in Hollywood.[4][5]
Personal life
In 2013, Thomas filed for bankruptcy following an unpaid tax bill of £40,000.[6][7][8]
Thomas was arrested in 2016 after being drunk and disorderly in a Lake District nightclub. He was fined £90.[4]
In 2016, it was rumoured that he was romantically involved with his Coronation Street co-star Alison King after he shared pictures of them on holiday together with their children. They denied that they were a couple.[9]
He is also the brother of Emmerdale star, Adam Thomas.
