Ellie Leach has admitted leaving Coronation Street after 12 years is a daunting prospect but one she is hoping will be worth the risk.
The soap star, 22, has revealed she is happy with how her character will leave the ITV show later this year and shared her career plans for the future once her final scenes air.
Ellie has played Faye Windass on the ITV soap since she was just nine-years-old, tackling hard-hitting storylines like her character being diagnosed with premature menopause, being the victim and perpetrator of bullying and falling pregnant at the age of 13.
