A Coronation Street star of five years has revealed he has left the ITV soap for ‘new pastures’.
Adam Hussain, 24, has portrayed Aadi Alahan since April 2020 when he took over from Zennon Ditchett who had played the character for 11 years.
The actor is now set to leave the cobbles and took to Instagram to announce his departure.
He posted: ‘I guess the secrets out now! As some of you may have heard, I will be leaving Coronation Street for new pastures.
‘Over the 5 years I’ve spent there I have learned so much about the world and the industry and now feel I am ready to spread my wings a little. I have made friends that will last a lifetime and will surely miss such a special family!
‘This isn’t a farewell for Aadi however, more like a see you later!

The actor (pictured when he first joined five years ago) is now set to leave the cobbles and took to Instagram to announce his departure
‘I’m excited to see what the future brings! Thank you @coronationstreet @itv for giving me such a privilege of portraying this character for you. Until next time! Adam.’
Many fans commented their support and one said: ‘Awww we’ll miss you Adam!! xxx.’
‘Good luck Adam, look forward to seeing you on the telly soon.’
‘Best of luck Adam you smashed it.’
‘Good luck Adam! Wish you all the best going forward bro.’
Metro reported that Adam will continue to feature in the soap until the end of summer.
Last year, the star sparked rumours he was set to step away from the cobbles after a slew of clues on social media.
He shared that he was featuring in a film for a new production company and posted scenes from acting classes.
He also later uploaded new headshots on his Instagram page – something actors tend to do before they switch gigs.
While in February, it was revealed Adam would be starring in a short film called Denial.
It comes after it was revealed just last month that another Coronation Street star was set to leave the soap.
Joe Layton, who plays Mick Michaelis, only joined the show in February alongside partner Lou (Farrel Hegarty).
It’s been revealed that Joe’s stint was always planned to be temporary after he originally joined on a fixed contract for a special storyline, with no ‘shock’ exit planned.

An insider has since told The Mirror that Mick’s character will remain on screen until late July, with the soap source teasing there was ‘lots more to come’.
More recently, it was revealed that Farrel would be leaving too and a source told The Sun: ‘She will be leaving the soap alongside Joe – they were bought on as a couple and will leave as such.
‘Fans were hoping they would be around for a while but there are no plans to keep them on longer than first intended.
A Coronation Street spokesperson also confirmed to the publication: ‘Mick and Lou were brought into the show to cause chaos on the cobbles in the build-up to a major storyline in the summer and they are already making their presence felt.’
