Soap bosses have not yet revealed how she will exit, however, a Corrie fan may have rumbled her storyline – and it may be sooner than we think.
A Corrie fan took to social media to share his observations during his tour around the Weatherfield set yesterday.
He revealed that he saw a For Sale sign outside Yasmeen’s house, hinting that the character will be moving away.
Taking to X – formerly Twitter, the fan wrote: “Things of note from the Corrie Tour today… Yasmeen’s house is up for sale, and the guide said it wasn’t last week.”
Another fan replied: “Guess that means she leaves relatively soon then.”
Corrie veteran Shelley King has played Yasmeen on the cobbles for the past 11 years.
She has been part of some memorable storylines from loosing her son Kal who was tragically killed in the Victoria Court fire, to her self-defence against her abusive husband Geoff.
A TV insider said: “This will be another blow for fans of the show, as Yasmeen is a much-loved character who’s part of the fabric of Corrie.
“She’s had some huge storylines since she joined the soap in 2014, and she’ll be sorely missed by cast and crew.
“It’s understood she is leaving so she can explore other projects.”

Corrie cash crisis: shock exits for 2025
ITV bosses are locked in a battle to save the cash-strapped soap.
This means that a number of stars have either been axed from or have abandoned the long-running serial drama.
Colson Smith – Craig Tinker
The character of Craig Tinker has been axed by bosses after 14 years. After he was told of the news in Autumn 2024, Colson Smith confirmed that would be written out of the show with scenes to air later this year.

Sue Cleaver – Eileen Grimshaw
After 25 years playing Eileen Grimshaw, former I’m A Celebrity campmate Sue Cleaver will quit the show. The Sun on Sunday reported in January that she’s already begun to film her exit scenes. However the character will not be killed off in case Sue opts to make a return in the future.
Luca Toolan – Mason Radcliffe
Bosses decided to axe the teenage character after just 16 months after he first joined the show. Recent scenes saw Mason stabbed by his criminal brothers after his pal Dylan brought a knife in an attempt to defend him.
Sue Devaney – Debbie Webster

Charlotte Jordan – Daisy Midgeley
The actress became the fifth star to leave Coronation Street in just one month. We revealed that she will bow out of the ITV soap later this year after four years on-screen. Charlotte told sources that she’s hungry to see what other opportunities await.
