Bosses made a big deal of his casting with Jack saying at the time: “I’m delighted and honoured to be playing a part in the history of the cultural institution that is Coronation Street.
“I hope Bobby brings viewers a lot of laughs in the vein of some of the street’s classic comedy characters.”
But The Sun can reveal that Jack filmed his final scenes back in March, with his low-key exit airing on screen last month after his storyline came to a natural end.
In scenes that played out on May 12, Bobby decided to fly out to Spain for a last minute holiday after close friend Lauren Bolton accused him of being her blackmailer.
He told his aunt Carla, actress Alison King, that he would be joining Simon Barlow on his travels.
Simon Barlow actor Alex Bain was also axed by bosses and left the soap last year.
A Corrie source said: “Jack loved his time on the cobbles but it came to a natural end for now.
“He did 18 months on the street and loved every minute of it.
“His exit was very low-key and even the viewers didn’t realise his last minute holiday to Spain would be a permanent move.
“Jack wanted to go quietly and not make a fuss.

“The door is very much open for him to return in future storylines.”
Jack shot to fame at 14 when he was the runner up on the seventh series of Britain’s Got Talent in 2014.
Coronation Street’s 2024 shock exits
Corrie has said goodbye to several cast members this year. Let’s break down who’s left the famous soap:
Eliza Woodrow (Savannah Kunyo) has said farewell to Corrie to start a new life in Germany.
The youngster moved to live with her dad Dom Everett, who went back on the £10,000 bribe Eliza’s grandfather Stu had offered to keep him out of her life.
Paul Foreman (Peter Ash) will bow out of the soap this summer when he loses his fight with motor neurone disease (MND) in tragic scenes.
After being diagnosed last year, the fan favourite was devastated to learn he only had months left to live.
Viewers know he is planning to take his own life to end his suffering.
Summer Spellman (Harriet Bibby) departed the cobbles after being offered the opportunity of a lifetime to study in America.
Though she struggled to decide with her stepdad Paul’s impending death from MND, she was convinced she had to live her life to the full.
Simon Barlow (Alex Bain) has struggled with the sudden departure of his father Peter from the cobbles.
The Weatherfield legend left his family and loved ones behind on Boxing Day, 2023, when his wife Carla Connor encouraged him to travel around the world with a friend.
Simon’s been on a downward spiral ever since and his exit could end in tragedy.
Alya Nazir is set to leave the cobbles as actress Sair Khan prepares to go on maternity leave ahead of the birth of her first child.
It looks likely she’ll be heading to Dublin after securing a lucrative new job, leaving her colleague and fling Adam Barlow behind.
Show stalwart Sue Cleaver, who plays Eileen Grimshaw, is taking a break to star in the Sister Act The Musical UK tour. She will be back filming in May once her dates on the tour come to an end.
Her character left the Street after her son Jason broke his back after falling off a moped in Asia.
His stand up comedy routine was a hit with the judges and viewers alike and he went on to appear on Saturday Night at the London Palladium, Jason Manford’s Funny Old Week and Live At the Apollo as well as completing his first national live tour.
Since filming his Corrie exit Jack has been busy with a new podcast, Love int North, which celebrates the most northern love stories.
