Coronation Street star Charlotte Jordan, known for playing Daisy Midgeley, has announced a new role in BBC Radio 4's The Archers, following her exit from the ITV soap. Her departure scenes air this week, featuring an explosive plot where Daisy flees Weatherfield after scamming her step-mum Jenny Connor.
In the storyline, Daisy and her mother Christina Boyd set up a fake dating profile to convince Jenny to invest in a non-existent business. Daisy's boyfriend Daniel Osbourne discovered the scheme and gave her an ultimatum: choose him or the money. Daisy chose the money, ending their relationship.
Jordan revealed her new role on This Morning, stating she will join The Archers, a long-running radio drama set in the fictional village of Ambridge. She described her character as someone who will 'ruffle some feathers' but declined to provide further details.
The Archers, which began in 1951, is the world's longest-running soap opera. Jordan expressed gratitude to Coronation Street for her time on the show, noting the door has been left open for a potential return. She starts her new role soon.
