Rula has played Claudia on and off since 2009

It has been reported that Rula Lenska has quit Coronation Street as Claudia Colby.

Recently Claudia and her boyfriend, cobbles legend Ken Barlow, made the decision to move to Stillwaters retirement home.

But after a couple of weeks at their new home, Ken began to realise he wanted to be back on the Street with his family and friends.

In last night’s episode (Wednesday, April 22), Ken and Claudia had a serious chat about their living situation and their relationship.

They came to the agreement that Claudia would stay at Stillwaters and Ken would move back to Coronation Street. They also decided it was best to end their relationship.

However it looks like actress Rula will also not be making as many appearances in the show.

A source told The Sun Online: “The door is definitely open for Rula to return and Claudia still has connections to the street.

“But for now, Claudia’s life is on the veranda of Stillwaters and Ken belongs in his backstreet boozer.”

ED! has contacted Coronation Street for comment.
