Richard Fleeshman quits the Street
Coronation Street actor Richard Fleeshman - aka Craig Harris - has quit the soap in order to pursue a singing career.

A spokesperson confirmed to DS: "Richard will be leaving Coronation Street in September when his contract expires. He'll be taking a break to explore other options available to him.

"His character, Craig Harris, will not be killed off in his exit storyline and so there's definitely scope for a future return."

The 17-year-old joined Corrie back in 2002 and has recently appeared on the celebrity singing show Soapstar Superstar, which not only propelled his potential career in pop but also brought him together with current girlfriend Roxanne Pallett - Emmerdale's Jo Stiles.
