OHMYGOSSIP — Alexandra Mardell has quit ‘Coronation Street’.
The 28-year-old actress took to Twitter to confirm she is departing her role as Emma Brooker after four years, because she feels it is the “right time” to leave the ITV soap.
She wrote in a statement: “Playing Emma, on the most iconic street there is, has been the best experience of my life. Four years have gone so fast.
“Compared to other cast members I still feel like a newbie, which makes my decision to leave all the more difficult. But I feel it’s the right time for me.”
Alexandra thanked her fellow colleagues for their warm welcome when she joined the soap, and admitted she will always think of the character whenever she sees the colour pink.
She added: “I can’t thank everyone at Coronation Street enough for welcoming me and trusting me to tell so many wonderful and heartfelt stories.
“And of course for the friendships and the amazing fans. When I see pink, I will always think of Emma.”
‘Corrie’ boss Iain MacLeod hinted the door will be left open for Alexandra’s potential return.
He said: “Emma has found herself in a massive pickle – one which will cause her to wave goodbye to the cobbles. At least for now.
“Alexandra has been pure ‘Corrie’ gold and I wish her all the best.”
Away from the ‘Corrie’ cobbles, Alexandra got engaged to her partner Joe Parker last April.
She wrote on Instagram at the time: “Love locked down!! 1000000 times yes! You make me so happy, my face hurts! Love you ridiculously. Future Mrs Parker (sic)”
Joe posted: “Went in to lockdown with a girlfriend, came out with a fiancée. What a lucky man I am. Can’t wait to marry you @alexandramardell I love you (sic)”
