Coronation Street‘s Charlotte Jordan has announced a new soap role ahead of her exit as Daisy Midgeley.

The actor is due to bow out as the character later this week in scenes expected to be dramatic, with the star confirming her departure back in January.

Appearing on today’s This Morning, Charlotte opened up about some of her future plans, sharing that she’s looking forward to a “fresh start”.

“I do feel excited, it’s a fresh start. I feel like I’ve done a lot of soapy things,” she said. “I’ve done the checklist. They have been really good to me and it just feels like time for a new beginning.”

This Morning star Sharon Marshall then asked if she was joining BBC Radio 4’s The Archers, Charlotte confirming that was true.

“Yes, I am. I am joining The Archers, which is really fun,” she said, before teasing: “I start very soon, I can’t say much about it, but the character will ruffle some feathers. That’s what I can say.”

Charlotte was also asked about a potential return to Coronation Street in the future, with the star saying: “They’ve been really good to me. Yeah. When I sort of said, ‘I think it’s time for me to go’, I was fully prepared for them to sort of run me over.”

The actor recently admitted that it was “bittersweet” to be saying goodbye to the cobbles, noting that Weatherfield has “been the source of so much trauma” for Daisy.

“As for me, I’m feeling really grateful for my years on the show and the people I’ve gotten to work with,” Charlotte said.

“Producer Kate [Brooks] has been so supportive about me wanting to go back out into the audition circuit and very generous with Daisy’s exit story, as she really wanted to do the character justice.”

“Coronation Street is a very special building, and I have loved it. And it’s just goodbye for now, not goodbye forever,” she added.
