In April, The Sun reported how Adam Hussain, who plays Aadi Alahan, had quit Coronation Street after five years on-screen.
His decision came amid Corrie’s ongoing cash crisis and mass cast exodus, which has already seen seven big name stars leave the cobbles.
Now the soap favourite has revealed his normal job as he took to his Instagram page.
Writing alongside a snap, which showed multiple sewing machines along with a number of items waiting to be altered and mended, Adam wrote: “Helping out at the family business.”
He also tagged the location of the Stitch In Time tailors in a bid to promote his family’s business.
ALL CHANGE
Adam’s unlikely new side job comes as he prepares to leave the soap after more than five years.
Fans were left devastated when the actor last month revealed that he would be bowing out of the show in the coming months in a bid to focus on “new pastures.”
Last year, Adam sparked rumours that he was set to step away from the soap after dropping a number of clues on social media.
He first joined the soap in early 2020 after taking over the role of Aadi when the original actor Zennon Ditchett quit to focus on his studies.
Sources say that while it was big decision to make, Adam is now feeling confident and excited for the future.

Insiders told The Sun: “He’s telling people he’s quit, not because he’s had enough of the show but his character hasn’t had any decent storylines for ages.
“He’s had loads of new opportunities coming his way so he already feels like he’s made the right decision.”
The star has only been making occasional appearances on the cobbles for the past year, and just last month he revealed he had been working on a movie away from the ITV show.
Adam re-shared a photo of himself on set with a group of fellow actors, including Hollyoaks star Kirsty-Leigh Porter, who plays Leela Dexter on the E4 soap.
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.
The pair are starring in new movie called Spice for Life, with Adam playing character Sully.
Alongside the photo, Adam wrote: “Was great working with these lot.”
