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.
