Jimi Mistry is to leave Coronation Street later this year, it has been revealed.
The actor will bow out in a "dramatic storyline", having played the role of gym owner Kal Nazir since December 2013.
The reason for Kal's departure is being kept secret, however the ITV soap's bosses have teased that a "huge secret plot twist" will have a major impact on Kal's partner Leanne (Jane Danson) and family.
Mistry said: "When I was told about this storyline I felt it was a brilliant way to say goodbye to Kal and I am really looking forward to filming my departure scenes."
He continued: "I have had a fantastic 18 months on Coronation Street but I never saw myself staying around forever; my life is in London and I enjoy playing a variety of roles.
"I want to thank Stuart [Blackburn, producer] and the team for giving me the opportunity to be part of such a fantastic show. This is the longest I have ever been in one job and I have enjoyed it immensely."
Blackburn said: "Kal's departure will be a big part of the fantastic spring and summer of drama on Coronation Street.
"We discussed the plot idea with Jimi and we all feel it is a great storyline which will have huge ramifications for the Nazirs and Leanne going forward."
He added: "Jimi is a talented actor and an asset to the show and we will be sorry to see him go, but this is a fantastic exit storyline, there are still many twists and turns for the character in the coming months."
