Emily Bishop's leaving storyline revealed

As we found out this week, Eileen Derbyshire, who plays Emily Bishop on Coronation Street, is taking a break from the show.

Eileen will be taking 6 months leave at the beginning of 2016 and this has been confirmed by ITV.

On today's This Morning, soaps queen Sharon Marshall talked about this and confirmed how Emily would be written out of the show.

Emily will leave for deepest, darkest Peru to stay with her nephew Geoffrey (Spider) Nugent.  ITV have confirmed that Eileen Derbyshire plans to return to filming at the end of May next year.

Speaking of Peru, one of our VIP bloggers has a very special connection to Peru. Who is it? Have a look here!
