Coronation Street's Alexandra Mardell has revealed why she decided to quit her role as Emma Brooker.
Her exit is due to air very soon and the actress shared that she 'burst into uncontrollable tears' as she finished filming her final scenes. The much-loved character will depart in scenes being kept under wraps until transmission, amid the character keeping a dark secret.
At the start of the year, Emma and Faye Windass accidentally ran over an elderly man called Ted with him later dying. The girls managed to keep it a secret but in upcoming scenes the truth is due to come out, leading to Emma waving goodbye to the cobbles.
