ITV Coronation Street's Jamie Kenna says 'see ya' after teasing next job with former soap star and 'unfinished business' on Corrie

Jamie Kenna has said a big 'see ya' to the UK after leaving Coronation Street. The actor appeared in the ITV soap as Phill Whittaker last year. The character embarked on a whirlwind romance with recently heartbroken Fiz Stape with the pair tying the knot earlier this year.

However, their marriage barely lasted the afternoon as poor Phill was jilted at the wedding reception by his new wife who gave into her feelings for ex-Tyrone Dobbs. Despite pulling out all the, unusual, stops to win her back, there wasn't much hope for Phill who soon discovered Fiz was back with Tyrone.

After initially kicking up a fuss, he agreed to the annulment and left Weatherfield behind. It was then later confirmed that Jamie had officially exited the long-running soap. He appeared in video which was posted by Coronation Street on their official social media channels. They wrote in the caption: "This week we said goodbye to Phill with 2 L's! Here's a goodbye message from Jamie Kenna."
