After his recent suspension, ITV have announced that it will not be renewing the contract of Bruce Jones when it runs out in September.
Bruce was suspended from the show in March of this year after a drunken tirade in which he insulted other cast members.
Producer Steve Frost said: “Bruce’s portrayal of Les Battersby meant that Les quickly became a classic Coronation Street character who will be remembered for many years to come.
“However, after 10 great years, we feel we have reached the end of the road with storylines for Les. We wish Bruce all the best for the future.”
Of the decision, Jones said: “I have had a fantastic time at Coronation Street but the time has come to move on and try my hand at other things.
“I have already had some very exciting offers and am looking forward to what the future holds.”
