Emrhys Cooper has revealed his family was “sucked in by cults”.
The 39-year-old actor, who plays the fitness buff Rowan Cunliffe in ‘Coronation Street’, has admitted his family were indoctrinated by cults and phoney health experts during his childhood.
Speaking to the Daily Mirror newspaper, he said: “My parents did wind up in a cult. It was actually kind of a wellness, fitness, more of a spiritual cult.
“And as they got further and further in, and gave more money, it became more sinister.
“Basically, the cult tried to separate my parents by doing these rather sexual exercises with other people, which my Dad was a little alarmed by because he was having to grope this woman and my Mum was having to do this thing with someone else. So they kind of cottoned on that this exercise programme was not all it was cracked up to be.”
The soap star explained that his mother was convinced by the cult to reject medicine, which “severely affected” her health.
He said: “Growing up in Totnes, a very new-age town and a breeding hub of gurus and holistic doctors, my parents encountered quite a few Rowan-types over the years.
