It seems like another actor will soon be leaving the famous cobbles, as Adam Hussain, known for his role as Aadi Alahan in Coronation Street, has confirmed he will be leaving the soap after a five-year stint on the show. The actor took to social media to confirm the rumours of his departure and explain that he was “ready to spread my wings a little.”

Aadi is currently involved in a storyline involving the fallout of love interest Lauren Bolton (Cait Fitton) accidentally taking LSD, and a robbery in the corner shop owned by Aadi’s dad, Dev (Jimmi Harkishin). Aadi threw the party where the LSD was used and Lauren inadvertently picked up a cup containing the drug.

Now, as well as Aadi not owning up to doling out the LSD, it’s also revealed in the latest episode, July 18, that he’s set up the robbery himself to help pay off a loan he’d taken out to compensate for over-ordering stock, and that he was now in £6000 of debt.

It’s not sure what exactly will see Aadi’s exit but the revelation of these two storylines is bound to have something to do with it. For the latest TV and showbiz gossip sign up to our newsletter.

The actor announced his departure via an Instagram post, stating: “I guess the secrets out now! As some of you may have heard, I will be leaving Coronation Street for new pastures.”
