Coronation Street legend Chris Gascoyne, known for his role as Peter Barlow, will reportedly leave the cobbles behind later this year as he bids farewell to his 23-year stint on the popular ITV soap for a new career venture.
The 50-year-old actor first appeared as Peter during a live, 50-minute episode for the show's 40th anniversary and made a permanent return to the show in 2016. But now according to reports, he has decided to "take an extended break."
Despite a source insisting to the Mirror that it is only an "extended break" it has also been claimed that Chris feels it is the "right time" to look down other avenues of work in other roles, although it is still in speculation how he would exit the soap.
