Coronation Street star Alex Bain has seemingly confirmed his exit from the ITV soap after 15 years playing Simon Barlow, the son of Peter and the late Lucy Barlow

The actor has been on the ITV soap - which airs on Virgin Media in Ireland - since he was seven, as Peter and Lucy Barlow's son. Alex has been involved in a series of huge storylines, such as dealing with drugs and losing his mum Lucy. Soon, we might see him in a car crash on the show with Sam Blakeman, played by Jude Riordan. The actors were spotted filming the upcoming scenes before Christmas.

After taking part in a Q&A on Instagram at the start of the year, Alex shared a video of himself in his dressing room at the Salford-based set, inviting fans and followers to ask questions about his 'day to day life'. Alongside the question box, he wrote: "Adore my job I do! So glad to be back @coronationstreet for my first-day shooting of 2024."

He continued: "@christgascoyneofficial is one of the most amazing and complete actors I've had the pleasure of working with on Corrie! He is one of the utterly incredible people I had the joy to learn and hone the craft of acting with, and I will always be grateful for all he has done."
