His character is also recovering from a gambling addiction.
He broke the news of his departure on Twitter , writing: "Folks, I just wanted to let you know that the time has come for me to hang up the chef’s gear and head for pastures new.
"There is still a lot of drama & shenanigans to come for Robert but I will be leaving Corrie later in the year."
Earlier this year, Kym Marsh confirmed she would be exploring other roles, although has not ruled out a possible return in the future.
She said in a statement: “When I was lucky enough to be offered four episodes on Coronation Street I could never in my wildest dreams have thought I’d be here 13 years later.
“It’s been an incredibly difficult decision but it feels like the right time for me to take a break from the show and explore some other roles.
“But this isn’t the last you’ve heard of Michelle Connor, she’ll be back! I can’t wait to see what the writers have in store for the future."
