The departure of Coronation Street's Tommy Duckworth has been given an airdate.

Chris Fountain's character will make an off-screen exit on Wednesday, October 23.

The storyline sees Tommy decide to leave suddenly after discovering that his girlfriend Tina McIntyre (Michelle Keegan) has moved homeless David Platt (Jack P Shepherd) into their flat.

Tina arrives home after inviting David to stay, only to discover that Tommy has left.

"It's Tommy. He proper kicked off when he found me here," David explains. "He went mental, saying how he always comes last with you and how you think you can do what you want."

Fountain was sacked by producers in August after he appeared in controversial rap videos on YouTube.

The footage featured Fountain wearing a mask, and included boasts of violence and rape.

In a statement released following his dismissal, the actor said: "I completely understand that ITV had no choice but to terminate my contract today. I have had two wonderful years playing Tommy Duckworth with only happy memories of my time on Coronation Street."

They could have made it more believable than that. Considering Tommy is like a lapdog around Tina, something as simple as David kipping at theirs for a couple of nights is gonna make him kick off? Utter rubbish
