Speaking on today’s This Morning, Charlotte revealed she has already bagged a brand new job, despite only filming her last scenes last month.

Although she admitted she “couldn’t say too much”, the actress revealed she was heading over to the airwaves to be part of the cast of Radio 4’s, The Archers.

The radio drama – which is the world’s longest running soap – follows the residents of the fictional farming community of Ambridge.

While she couldn’t reveal more about her character, Charlotte admitted she was “looking forward to a fresh start”.

Speaking about her last day of filming Coronation Street, she said: “I cried a lot on my last day – it was on and off sobbing for hours.”

Fans will also be thrilled to hear that bosses have “left the door open” for her.

QUITTING THE COBBLES

In January, Charlotte shocked fans when she announced she was leaving Corrie.

In an emotional statement, she said: “My time at Coronation Street is something I’ll always cherish,” she said at the time.

“It’s been a privilege to be part of a wonderful institution with even more wonderful colleagues who have taught me so much.

“After a brilliant four years for Daisy, it’s time for me to start a new chapter and explore other opportunities.”

The Sun then revealed last month how Charlotte had filmed her final scenes for the soap.

Fans will have to wait until the summer to see how she will wave goodbye to the cobbles,

A source said: “Charlotte wrapped her time on the cobbles and had a leaving party recently.

“It was very lowkey as she wanted. She’ll be very missed.”

PLAYING DAISY

Since arriving in 2020, Charlotte’s character Daisy has been part of the soap’s biggest moments including her stalking ordeal and a plot which saw her take over the Rovers with stolen money.

She won the British Soap Award for Best Dramatic Performance after Daisy was the victim of a wedding day acid attack by Justin Rutherford (Andrew Still).

At Christmas, Daisy discovered she was pregnant with the baby of ex Daniel Osbourne (Rob Mallard) or new lover Kit Green (Jacob Roberts).

After lying to Daniel that it was his baby, Daisy suffered a miscarriage and revealed that Kit was the true father.

She has reunited with Daniel since as her exit storyline kicks into gear.

A source added: “Charlotte has loved her time on the cobbles but is young, ambitious and hungry to see what else is out there for her.

“She told bosses last April that her next contract would be her last, giving them a year to craft an exciting exit storyline.

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.
