Coronation Street's Katie McGlynn becomes sixth star to leave this year amid 'crisis'

Sinead Tinker actress Katie McGlynn will be leaving the soap after six years - with the news coming just a day after Faye Brooks announced her exit

Coronation Street actress Katie McGlynn has become the sixth star to leave this year amid a 'crisis'.

Just one day after Faye Brooks announced she was leaving comes the news that Katie will also be departing after six years.

Her much-loved character Sinead Tinker first walked on the cobbles in April 2013 and instantly became a fan favourite.

This comes as a big blow to Corrie bosses as Sinead is currently at the centre of many storylines.

Most recently, Sinead was given the all clear from cancer after deciding to delay her treatment to give birth to baby Bertie.

Katie has become the sixth member of the Corrie cast to leave this year alone.

This has sparked fears that the ITV soap is in the midst of a mass exodus.

The actress has become the sixth cast member to leave this year as the show’s crisis deepens.

A source told The Sun : “Katie has just been nominated for a British Soap Award so it’s a big loss and not what bosses would have wanted to hear.

“She’s been central to a number of key storylines this last year or so and will need replacing urgently.”

Katie first appeared in Corrie in 2013 - with Sinead arriving in Weatherfield to visit her auntie Beth and cousin Craig.

She quickly fell in love with Chesney Brown and the pair had an on-off relationship for several years.

They hit the rocks in 2017 when Sinead had an affair with Daniel Osbourne, who she went on to marry after a few bumps in the road in 2018.

The news comes just one day after Faye Brookes became the fifth star to quit the Coronation Street in three months,

Taking to Twitter yesterday, the actress wrote that she would be leaving the role of Kate Connor to "explore new opportunities".

She tweeted: "Thanks to everyone for your amazing support, but after 4 fabulous years in Weatherfield it's time for me to explore new opportunities, I've loved playing Kate Connor, but she needs a break for a little while and so with a song in my heart I'm off to pastures new. #corrie."

The actress has appeared in the soap since 2015 as Kate Connor, who is best known for her relationship with Rana Habeeb, played by Bhavna Limbachia.

In a statement, Coronation Street said: "Faye is a very talented actress who has put her all into the portrayal of Kate Connor for the past three and a half years, we wish her every success for the future.

"She will be on screen until early autumn and the door will be left open."

This comes just a week after actor Tristan Gemmill, who plays Robert Preston, announced that he was leaving the cobbles .

The star also broke the news on Twitter and said that he would be making an exit later this year.

In March, actress Connie Hyde, who starred as Sally Webster's sister Gina Seddon, revealed that she would be quitting . Her last scenes aired earlier this month.

Meanwhile Kym Marsh announced in February that she was leaving the soap after 13 years as Michelle Connor and said that she was keen to try something new.

*Coronation Street airs Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays on ITV at 7.30pm and 8.30pm

What a shame, can't say she was ever my favourite character but Sinead and Daniel were a refreshing young couple on the show. A realistic couple.

Iain Macleod must be making a bad impression behind the scenes for the cast as much as he's making a bad impression for the viewers. Only characters left soon will be Gemma, Gemma's boyfriend, Gemma's brother and Gemma's mother who's coming in soon.

Will miss her.

Yea Sinead is quitting, brilliant, she irratated me with her stupid clothes and hair, not to mention, did she ever have something in her mouth when she talked?
Won't miss her one bit
