On 14 April 2010, Coronation Street was cleared by Ofcom for broadcasting a scene in which Wood's character pushed a burning newspaper through someone's letterbox. Thirty-one people complained about the scene, claiming that the show had incited and encouraged crime. However, Ofcom ruled that it was "not likely to encourage or incite the commission of crime or lead to disorder".

In 2013, Wood rejoined Hollyoaks to play the villainous character Trevor Royle, a pivotal player in the exit of long running character Jacqui McQueen.
