Leaving Coronation Street
Lucy’s Corrie alter ego Bethany left Weatherfield in March earlier this year to move to London.
Meanwhile, Lucy decided to leave the show in order to try new things. However the coronavirus pandemic put TV productions to a stop.
Speaking to The Sun back in May, she said: “It was really difficult to make the decision to leave but I’d been there five years and it was all I’d ever known.

“I’d never done theatre or anything away from Corrie and after the grooming storyline where I’d won quite a few awards, which was amazing, I realised if I didn’t leave and try other things I might end up wondering ‘What if?’
I’d never done theatre or anything away from Corrie.
“But obviously COVID-19 has thrown it all up in the air now. As I left, work was starting to pick up and take off and now everything has stopped.”
You can see Lucy in Don’t Rock The Boat, which airs Monday, November 2 on ITV.
