CORONATION Street star Kym Marsh has confirmed her character won’t be killed off when she leaves the soap.
The 43-year-old has played Michelle Connor on the ITV show for the last 14 years but her final scenes will air this Christmas.
When quizzed on This Morning about if her character would die, she replied: “No. The door is open so that’s good.”
Discussing her decision to leave, she said: “I just, you know, it comes a time when you’re a part of such a huge show and you play that character for so many years.
“I just thought I’d quite like to try my hand at something else. ‘I’m always one who loved a bit of a challenge, and so, there you go.”
She is yet to film her final scenes but already knows what is in store for her.
The actress teased: “I do know, probably can’t say. But it’s soon, coming up very soon.”
Kym added: “[It feels] a bit weird. I’m going to be very emotional on my last day, for sure.”
At the moment viewers are in the dark about how what will happen to Michelle but she is due to find out her fiancé Robert has been cheating on her.
But the bistro manager will still go ahead and marry him.
Corrie fans have watched Robert weave a web of lies over recent weeks as he’s tried to keep both Michelle and Vicky happy, without finding out about each other.
He’s managed to convince Michelle – Kym Marsh – to have a secret wedding, claiming it’s much more romantic and from the looks of these pictures, she goes through with it and forgives him.
Meanwhile he’s told Vicky to keep their baby news quiet as it would upset Michelle who tragically lost her baby Ruairi in 2017.
The Sun Online revealed back in May that Michelle would flee the cobbles after 15 years when she discovers Robert has another woman – who’s pregnant- on her wedding day.
A source told us how an “inevitable whirlwind” of drama will play out on Michelle’s Corrie exit storyline, a decision actress Kym put off making for a whole year.
