Coronation Street star Charlotte Jordan has shared an emotional message as she bid farewell to her character Daisy Midgley. The actress, 29, took to her social media as her final episode aired.

“It’s been wonderful, it’s been an honour to be a little piece of the Corrie history and I will miss this place very, very much. Goodbye for now.”
She recently opened up on her Coronation Street exit, in which she was left dehydrated after sobbing. It was reported a number of her co-stars were also weeping all day as she bid farewell to the role.
Charlotte said: “I’m not a big crier. But let me tell you, I cried on and off for about four hours straight. My last scene was with the beautiful Rob Mallard, and we were meant to cry in the scene – but we were both dry as a bone.

“As soon as they yelled our final cut, we both burst into tears. Typical.” She revealed her colleagues and co-stars also went out of their way to “make it so special” for her too.
“The Corrie gang made it so special for me,” Charlotte shared. “The canteen made me my favourite lunch – which made me cry. The art department drew me a beautiful card – which made me cry.
“I would look over to Channique [Sterling-Brown] or Julia [Goulding] or Sal [Sally Ann Matthews] during our last lunch break and see them crying – which made me cry. I think I was medically dehydrated by the end of the day.”

Announcing her departure in January, the actress expressed: “My time at Coronation Street is something I’ll always cherish. After a brilliant four years for Daisy, it’s time for me to start a new chapter and explore other opportunities.
“It’s been a privilege to be part of a wonderful institution with even more wonderful colleagues who have taught me so much.”
At the time, a source told The Sun : “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. She’s still filming now and her final scenes will play out in early summer. She’s adored by cast and crew and will be hugely missed.”
