Coronation Street star lands ‘normal job’ after quitting soap

Coronation Street’s Adam Hussain has pitched in at his family’s tailoring business not long after announcing his departure from the ITV soap.

The actor, who portrayed Aadi Alahan for half a decade was spotted helping out in Sale, Manchester. Adam, 24, last month made public his decision to exit Coronation Street and seek “new pastures” since he joined the cast in 2020.

Following his beloved run on the show, Adam recently offered fans an insight into his day-to-day life with an Instagram post showing him at work among sewing machines and clothes awaiting alterations.

His post read: “Helping out at the family business.” Tagging the location of Stitch In Time tailors, thereby giving his family venture a plug. This grounding step comes as Adam prepares to bid farewell to Coronation Street after more than five years.

His upcoming departure is part of a string of exits from the series, coinciding with reports of financial difficulties that have seen seven notable actors leave.

In an emotional reveal on Instagram last month, Hussain shared news of his departure, commenting, “I guess the secrets out now! As some of you may have heard, I will be leaving Coronation Street for new pastures.”

He continued, expressing gratitude for his time on the show: “Over the five years I’ve spent there I have learned so much about the world and the industry and now feel I am ready to spread my wings a little.”

However, the popular actor gave words of reassurance to his followers, hinting at his character’s return in the future: “This isn’t a farewell for Aadi however, more like a see you later!”
