Tracy Barlow may no longer be gracing our screens as actress Kate Ford is set to leave the Street.

Tracy is currently embroiled in a bitter feud with Steve, the father of her child, and the sly bedhopper is pretending she wants to start a family with Nathan, the garage mechanic.

But it seems plots like this will be a thing of the past soon, as Kate is apparently tired of making the journey from London to Manchester to work.

"I don't want to be playing the same character forever," she said, echoing the words of countless Corrie stars in the past.

Kate has recently voiced her support of her friend Shobna Gulati, the actress who plays Sunita and who has reportedly been axed from the Street in the latest Weatherfield cull.

She has also been awarded the "best bitch" prize at the Inside Soap Awards.
