The ITV actor joined Corrie in 2020 when he took over from Zennon Ditchett, who had already played the character for ten years.
He announced his plans to leave in April this year – and has now revealed he’s landed a role in a new feature film.
In a video message shared by Coronation Street, Adam says: “I just want to say thank you so much to everyone for watching Aadi on Corrie over the years.
“These past five years have been so educational and such an experience.

“I’ve made friends that will last a lifetime.
“And I’ve grown not just as an actor, but as a person as well.
“But I just want to say that it’s not goodbye forever, more like a see you later.
“And if you want to keep watching me, then I will be around in other stuff so keep your eyes peeled.”
In an interview with the Mirror, Adam – who has been auditioning for new roles since filming his final scene in June – said: “I want to spread my wings a little, go out in the big world and see what else I can do.
“I am really excited as I’ve got a new role in a horror feature film. I can’t say too much yet, but I am looking forward to it.
“It’s very relieving to know I can always return whenever I want to.
“And they’ve told me the door will always be left open if I ever want to come back.”
He was flooded with support from fans in the comments.
One said: “Such a huge talent… all future tv and film dramas should count themselves very lucky that he is now available!”
Another added: “Wish you were staying! Your character had so much potential and would have loved to see your journey but wish you well in the future.”
Someone else wrote: “You are an amazing actor so we hope to see you back on TV very soon. All the very best buddy.”
