Alex Bain has shared a touching message to his fans as he said farewell to Coronation Street after 16 years 'I just wanted to say that it's been a fantastic experience. I've loved being here, and I've loved being a part of the nation's favourite Street. Many devoted Corrie fans also took to the comments to praise Alex and gush that they would miss seeing Simon in Weatherfield, voicing the hope that he could return.
'I remember when he went on as a little boy. Gosh he’s grown ❤️; Good Luck @alexbainofficial I can't wait to see what you get up to'. A source told The Sun last year: 'Alex is sad to be leaving Coronation Street because it really is like a family — but he realises that the time is right to move on. Their relationship ended the following May, and the soap star met dancer Mollie Lockwood, 22, in 2019.Speaking to OK! magazine, Alex gushed: 'I can't spend my life with anyone else.'
Alex spoke of his nerves, saying: 'I thought, 'If I don't do it now, I'll keep getting more and more nervous!' I was pretty certain she'd say yes, but I was still bricking it.'
