Coronation Street spoilers as Ellie Leach confirms exit as Faye Windass as she says 'Corrie will always be part of me'

There's an exit on the horizon in Weatherfield as Ellie Leach has finally confirmed rumours that she's leaving Coronation Street after 12 years. The actress is best known for playing Faye Windass in the ITV soap and spoilers for next week reveal that the character will be packing her bags and heading for Slough.

Rumours about Ellie's exit have been swirling for weeks but even when speaking to the Manchester Evening News at the Pride of Manchester awards last week, the soap star beamed as she shared her excitement about her current storyline.

Ellie has grown up on screen after making her debut on the cobbles in 2011. And more than a decade later, things appeared to have come full circle for Ellie on-screen as her latest storyline has seen her reunited with her daughter, Miley, who returned with her dad Jackson Hodge.
