Actor Charlie Condou has announced that he is leaving 'Coronation Street' at the end of his current contract.
According to the show's official website, the actor, who plays Sean Tully's boyfriend Marcus Dent in the show, said that he would like to pursue other acting projects.
His character Marcus is set to become involved in "a juicy love triangle story" before he leaves.
Speaking about his departure, Condou said: "I have had a fantastic time but this is the right time to move on, there are a few things in the pipeline one of which is a feature film but it is all under wraps at the moment."
"I have really enjoyed working with everybody at 'Coronation Street' and I will miss all the cast and crew when I leave later on this year."
