Coronation Street's Adam Hussain has been seen working a 'normal job' not long after announcing his departure from the ITV soap.

Adam, who portrayed Aadi Alahan for half a decade, the son of Dev Alahan and twin to Asha, has decided to move on from the iconic soap after two years.

The 24-year-old made public his decision to exit Coronation Street last month, where he revealed he wanted to "new pastures".

Following his recent exit, Adam offered fans an insight into his day-to-day life in Sale, Manchester, with an Instagram post showing him at work among sewing machines and clothes awaiting alterations.

His post read: "Helping out at the family business." Tagging the location of Stitch In Time tailors.

His upcoming departure is part of a string of exits from the series, coinciding with reports of financial difficulties that have seen seven notable actors leave.

In an emotional reveal on Instagram last month, Hussain shared news of his departure, commenting, "I guess the secrets out now! As some of you may have heard, I will be leaving Coronation Street for new pastures."

"I'm excited to see what the future brings! Thank you @coronationstreet @itv for giving me such a privilege of portraying this character for you. Until next time!"
