Coronation Street star Charlotte Jordan is cashing in on her time on the cobbles with a money-spinning job overseas.

The actress, 29, who played Daisy Midgeley, is set to join Corrie Sally Ann Matthews – aka Jenny Bradley – for the Jenny & Daisy Rovers Return live gigs in Canada.

The pair will give tell-all interviews about their time on Coronation Street amid its ongoing financial troubles.

While Charlotte left the show last year, her final scenes have yet to air. 

The gigs, which cost £40 a head to attend, also promise to give audiences behind-the-scenes secrets from the show. 

For £60 a pop, fans will also have the opportunity to pose with the actresses.

Charlotte told The Sun: ‘My time at Coronation Street is something I’ll always cherish.  ‘It’s been a privilege to be part of a wonderful insтιтution with even more wonderful colleagues who have taught me so much.

‘After a brilliant four years for Daisy, it’s time for me to start a new chapter and explore other opportunities.’

She is not the only cast member to recently leave the show and up to 75 other members of cast and crew are getting axed in a bid to cut costs. 

A source said: ‘Charlotte wrapped her time on the cobbles and had a leaving party recently. It was very low-key as she wanted. She’ll be very missed.’

Coronation Street’s financial troubles are said to be the result of a fall in advertising revenue and increased production costs. 

It was recently reported that newer characters, who required smaller fees, are being prioritised over long-standing cast members who come with larger costs. 

In the past, cast members were paid the same regardless of how long they featured on screen.  

Charlotte has had many memorable storylines during her stint on the show and won particular praise for her stalker story, which was described as shedding a much needed light on the issue.  

The actress is said to have given Coronation Street bosses plenty of notices ahead of her departure so they had time to craft an 'exciting' exit storyline

An insider told The Sun: ‘The cast loved the days when lots of scenes were filmed in the Rovers because it didn’t matter if you had 10 scenes in an episode or just sat in the pub – you’d get paid the same

‘Playing a barmaid or the landlord was a dream gig and would guarantee you got paid a fortune because it didn’t matter if you just served someone in the background – you got paid for the episode.’

Recent big names to leave the show include Alex Bain (Simon Barlow), who was written out in 2023 when his wife Carla Connor encouraged him to go travelling after struggling with the loss of his father Peter.
