CORONATION Street actress Tanisha Gorey has broken her silence on her co-star’s impending exit.

Fans of the ITV soap opera will know that Tanisha’s character Asha’s on-screen twin brother, Aadi, played by Adam Hussain, is soon to depart the programme for good.

Now, speaking exclusively to The Sun at this year’s British Soap Awards, Tanisha has admitted Aadi’s exit will be “emotional” and cause distress for his twin sister Asha.

Tanisha told The Sun: “I’ve been working with Adam now for five years and he is amazing. [check]

“I think he wants to go out and see the big wide world and he will do absolutely amazing.

“His exit is not too unusual but it is quite sad for Asha.

“She’s feeling very… I mean, she is losing her twin brother. I don’t want him to go.”

The Sun were the first to exclusively reveal that Adam had decided to walk away from the soap earlier this year amid a mass cast exodus at the soap.

A source said at the time: “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.”

But although Aadi will be waving goodbye to Weatherfield, Asha is sticking around with Tanisha confirming to The Sun that viewers will get to see her journey as a paramedic grow in an upcoming storyline.

She also revealed that fans will get to see her connections within the NHS and how she leans on fellow staff members for support amid a tough time.

Tanisha said: “I have got a story coming up that is very big but also very sad and heart-wrenching and heartstopping.

“I think we’ll see how much they [Asha and her colleagues] have to support each other and how they make it work.

“They are with each other 12 hours a day – we do see a friendship there which is really nice and see how much they have to support each other to make it work.

“It will be nice to finally see a friendship there and see who is mentoring her and who she is learning from and we are going to get to see quite a bit of that which i’m really looking forward too.”
