Coronation Street star Farrel Hegarty to exit with on-screen husband Mick as Lou leaves the soap

Coronation Street star Farrel Hegarty is leaving the soap when new neighbours from hell Mick and Lou Michaelis exit Weatherfield later this year, The Sun has reported.

Farrel and co-star Joe Layton joined earlier this year as Chesney and Gemma’s rough-and-ready new neighbours, quickly clashing with their fellow residents. In addition to their neighbours, they also annoyed viewers, especially where Mick’s unsavoury behaviour was concerned.

However, they won’t be sticking around as long as one might have expected. The news originally broke last week that Joe will be leaving the soap later this year. And his screen wife won’t be far behind, with reports emerging that Farrel will also be leaving.

But why are Mick and Lou leaving Corrie?
