Seven months after bowing out of Coronation Street as Bethany Platt, Lucy Fallon has now joined the cast of upcoming radio play Sour Hall.

According to The Sun, this one has its feet firmly in the horror genre and centres on a lesbian couple being terrorised by a ghost.

Doctor Who star Pearl Mackie co-leads with Fallon, while fellow Corrie face Graeme Hawley is also onboard.

On her surprise departure, she explained: "I didn't leave because I didn't enjoy it. I left because I felt like if I didn't leave now and try to experience life, I would never leave.

"That wouldn't be a bad thing, but I didn't want to get to 10 years down the line and think, 'I should have gone for a couple of years to experience other things'."
