Coronation Street star Faye Brookes has revealed when she will bow out of the soap - and it's not too far away.
The actress, who has played Kate Connor in the ITV favourite for four years, announced her plans to leave at the end of April in a Twitter post, citing Kate needed "a break for a little while".
But Faye has now told The Sun that her last appearance on the cobbles will be in September.
The Flixton native told the newspaper: "I'm really grateful for the ending Corrie have given me because it's a positive one rather than grief and sadness, which Kate's felt a lot of."
And when questioned on what secrets she is keeping on her exit, Faye said: "Only my ending, but it's not on until September time so stay tuned."
Faye has had a big few months in the soap after her on-screen fiancée Rana Habeeb was killed off in the devastating Underworld factory roof collapse.
She tweeted at the time: "Thanks to everyone for your amazing support, but after 4 fabulous years in Weatherfield it's time for me to explore new opportunities, I've loved playing Kate Connor, but she needs a break for a little while and so with a song in my heart I'm off to pastures new. #corrie."
However the 31-year-old has said that she made her decision to leave due to it being the end of her contract.

She added that she is grateful to her Corrie bosses for leaving her exit open in case she does want to come back.
Faye is one of several actors poised to leave the soap so far this year with Kym Marsh, Tristan Gemmill and Lucy Fallon all announcing their plans to move on.
