Coronation Street star Luana Santos has confirmed that she will be exiting the ITV soap and that her final scenes have already aired.

Luana first appeared on the programme as Sabrina Adetiba last year. From here, her character quickly formed a relationship Max Turner (Paddy Bever).

Earlier this year, she was targeted by Joel Deering (Calum Lill), who had been grooming and abusing young women in Weatherfield.

Luckily, her friend Betsy Swain (Sydney Martin) grew suspicious of Joel’s motives and managed to keep him away from her.

Sabrina went on to insist that Lauren deserved to be happy after everything Joel put her through. However, Sabrina was quickly reminded by Lauren that she too was nearly a victim.

Recently, Luana took to Instagram to announce that these touching scenes would be her last on Coronation Street.
