HOAR Online revealed in May last year that Lucy was leaving the soap to “pursue other projects”.
Earlier this week, Lucy had a boozy leaving party with her co-stars Tina O’Brien, Jack P Shepherd, Sally Ann Matthews and Colson Smith.
It began with a dinner in Manchester and moved on to Vina Karaoke in the heart of the city, where Jack sung Elton John’s Rocket Man, while Tina, who plays Sarah Platt, did a version of Proud Mary.
