Alongside the post, he wrote: "Helping out at the family business." He also geotagged Stitch In Time tailors, promoting the family venture. Adam's unexpected new role coincides with his upcoming farewell from the series after over half a decade. His exit comes amidst the show's reported financial woes and a wave of departures, with seven prominent cast members having already exited. In a heartfelt Instagram post last month, Hussain confirmed his exit from the popular soap, writing: "I guess the secrets out now! As some of you may have heard, I will be leaving Coronation Street for new pastures." He added: "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."

Thank you @coronationstreet @itv for giving me such a privilege of portraying this character for you. Until next time!" Hussain first appeared on Coronation Street in April 2020, taking over the role of Aadi from original actor Zennon Ditchett, who left to focus on his studies. His character Aadi is the son of shopkeeper Dev Alahan, played by Jimmi Harkishin, and the twin brother of Asha, portrayed by Tanisha Gorey. Sources say that while leaving the soap was a big decision, Hussain is feeling confident and excited about his future. He's had loads of new opportunities coming his way so he already feels like he's made the right decision. Adam recently reposted a picture of himself on set with a group of fellow actors, including Hollyoaks star Kirsty-Leigh Porter, who portrays Leela Dexter on the E4 soap. The duo are featuring in a new film called Spice for Life, with Adam taking on the role of Sully. Alongside the photo, Adam penned: "Was great working with these lot".
