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!”
“I’m excited to see what the future brings! Thank you @coronationstreet @itv for giving me such a privilege of portraying this character for you. Until next time!”
Adam Hussain, who took on the role of Aadi in Coronation Street back in April 2020, has said his farewells to Weatherfield as he looks ahead to new ventures.
The actor assumed the part from Zennon Ditchett, who departed to concentrate on his education.
Playing the son of Dev Alahan and twin to Asha, Hussain has decided to move on from the iconic soap after two years.
Insiders reveal that while it was a significant choice, Adam is buoyed by confidence and excitement for what lies ahead.
Numerous opportunities have been flooding in, affirming to Hussain that his decision to leave was a sound one.
Adam recently shared a throwback photo with fellow actors, including Kirsty-Leigh Porter of Hollyoaks fame, from their upcoming film Spice for Life.
