Violet and Jamie's Weatherfield escape

Here are the first shots of Coronation Street's Rupert Hill and Jenny Platt filming their final scenes on-location in Manchester.

Almost a year to the day, it was reported that Jenny - who plays barmaid Violet Wilson - was apparently quitting the ITV soap due to the hassle and fame her work caused her. ITV, however, quickly denied the rumours.

Two months later, it was revealed that Rupert - Weatherfield's Jamie Baldwin - was to quit the ITV soap to "pursue other acting opportunities".

Thereafter, it was taken as read that Jenny - his on and off-screen lover - would be leaving with him.

So here we are, one year on - and they're off. The pair don't officially finish filming until next week but these are their final on-screen scenes together.
