Coronation Street star who shot to fame on Britain's Got Talent 'confirms' soap exit - and his final scenes have already aired

Coronation Street star Jack Carroll has reportedly left the show after two years - and fans have already seen his final scenes. The actor, 26, who shot to fame on Britain's Got Talent, joined the soap in 2023 as Bobby Crawford. Despite rumours he had already bowed out last year, the actor was still appearing regularly on-screen earlier this year. But his character's abrupt disappearance last month raised eyebrows, as he was quietly written out without any on-screen farewell or mention. It's now been revealed by The Mirror that Bobby has departed the soap — though his exit isn't permanent, with the door left ajar for a possible comeback in the future. A source told the publication: 'Bobby has had a dramatic couple of years on the cobbles, but the time has come to bid farewell. Actor Jack enjoyed his time on the soap, but it's time to move on. 'Viewers won't see the character exit the street as he's already left, with Jack filming his final scenes some time ago. 'The door has been left open for Jack should he wish to come back to the show in the future. With his Aunty Carla there, Bobby will always have a place in Weatherfield.' MailOnline has contacted ITV for comment. His character was last seen in the soap in May when he headed off to Spain to visit Simon Barlow. It comes after Jack revealed how he landed his role on the ITV soap. He was diagnosed with cerebral palsy at 16 months old – the result of brain damage that happened either during or shortly after his birth, causing spastic diplegia, a disability affecting both of his legs. Speaking on This Morning with hosts Rylan Clark and Josie Gibson last year, the star revealed how he claimed the coveted role and how the soap portrays the condition. Jack said that Corrie was something he had wanted to do for a long time - and he was helped by having a 'couple of friends' on the writing staff. As the team already knew him well, they were able to create a character that was very personalised to him as they were already familiar with his sense of humour. He went on to discuss how cerebral palsy has been portrayed on the Cobbles and the 'smart' way the producers have explored it. He said: 'I think the way they've gone about doing it and portraying disabilities they've done it in a really smart way. 'It's a facet of the character and there's lots of other stuff going on. It shows him as a human being too which is really important to do.' Joining Corrie was a very surreal experience for Jack, who described starting as 'quite daunting' and said he has 'big blockbuster' storylines coming up. He continued: 'It's bizarre! Walking past all these sets. It's very very bizarre but I hope that never leaves me. 'It's a huge privilege and I'm lucky to be able to add it to the CV.' Cerebral palsy is a life-long condition that occurs when a baby's brain is starved of oxygen during or shortly after birth. In most cases, this is due to a difficult labour, but it can occur as a result of an infection of the brain or head injury. Those with the condition may experience difficulties with movement and co-ordination, as well as loss of speech, hearing and vision and spinal deformities, and may need lifelong care. Disability charity Scope says an estimated 1,800 children are diagnosed with cerebral palsy in the UK every year. In 2020-2021, 281 cases of preventable cerebral palsy were reported – the highest number since 2010 and a fifth of the ten-year total. At the age of 14, Jack came runner-up on Britain's Got Talent in 2013 to shadow theatre group Attraction. The standup comedian, who has also made an appearance on Saturday Night at the London Palladium, was a hit among the judges and viewers. Jack has also made an appearance on Jason Manford's Funny Old Week and Live At the Apollo as well as completing his first national live tour. His acting career kicked off shortly after his BGT stint as he has starred in the likes of the Ministry of Curious Stuff on CBBC, Trollied, Doctors and the role of Pete in the feature film Eaten By Lions. What is cerebral palsy? Cerebral palsy is the name for a set of conditions affecting movement and co-ordination stemming from a problem with the brain that takes place before, during or soon after birth. Symptoms are not typically obvious immediately after a child is born — but instead normally become noticeable after two or three years. They include delays in reaching development milestones, such as: Not sitting by eight months Not walking by 18 months Appearing too stiff or too floppy Walking on tip-toes Weak arms or legs Fidgety, jerky or clumsy movements Random, uncontrolled movements Difficulty speaking, swallowing or seeing — along with learning difficulties — can also be symptoms. Cerebral palsy symptoms can be caused by a number of things and are not necessarily an indication of the condition, which can occur if a child's brain does not develop normally while in the womb, or is damaged during or soon after birth. Causes include bleeding in the baby's brain, reduced blood and oxygen supply, infection caught by the mother while pregnant, asphyxiation during a difficult birth, meningitis or a serious head injury - though the precise cause is often not clear. There is no cure currently, but physiotherapy, speech therapy, occupational therapy and medication are often used as treatment. Each person living with the condition is affected in a different way, but generally speaking most children live into adult life and some can live for many decades.
