A Coronation Street star is said to have left the ITV soap, with fans having already watched his final scenes.

Jack Carroll, known for his role as Bobby Crawford, is reported to have left the show after two years.

In the seventh series of the ITV talent show, his comedic act saw him finish as runner-up.

Since then, he has acted in a few films and TV shows, including Trollied, Eaten By Lions, Doctors, Father Brown and more.

He arrived on Coronation Street in 2023 as the nephew of Carla Connor, and the secret son of Rob Donovan.

A source told The Mirror: "Bobby has had a dramatic couple of years on the cobbles, but the time has come to bid farewell.

"Actor Jack enjoyed his time on the soap, but it's time to move on. Viewers won't see the character exit the street as he's already left, with Jack filming his final scenes some time ago.

"The door has been left open for Jack should he wish to come back to the show in the future. With his Aunty Carla there, Bobby will always have a place in Weatherfield."

His aunt Carla then took him under her wing, but was left reeling when she found out Bobby had planned to help Rob escape after he had kidnapped her.
