Rosie Webster's Coronation Street exit plotline will see her dump Jason Grimshaw in a bid for TV fame, a report has claimed.

The feisty brunette will bow out from Weatherfield in the New Year as Helen Flanagan, who plays her, has decided to leave the soap.

Rosie's final storyline will see her land a lucrative opportunity to star in a fly-on-the-wall television series in London, according to the Daily Star.

However, Rosie's big break comes with a price, as TV bosses want her to be single so that she can flirt with the show's male stars. She is then forced to break the news to Jason (Ryan Thomas).

Rosie apparently tells him: "I'm sorry Jason, but I don't want you to come with me. I can only go on TV if I'm single. And they've warned me if they find out I've got a boyfriend, they'll kick me off."

A heartbroken Jason hits back by saying: "I think you're disgusting. If you can just dump me after all we've been through together then I'm better off without you."

Rosie's parents Sally (Sally Dynevor) and Kevin (Michael Le Vell) are believed to back her career plans, but they remind her that she is always welcome back home if things go wrong - leaving the door open for the character's return.

Flanagan announced her decision to leave Coronation Street in October. She is filming her final scenes this week.
