Andy Whyment Clears Exit Rumors
Andy Whyment, who plays Kirk Sutherland, has put fans’ worries to rest about him leaving the show. The 43-year-old joined the show as Maria Connor’s brother in the 2000s. In the 2000s, he built a close bond with Fiz Brown and her brother Chesney before finally settling down with the outspoken Beth Tinker 11 years ago.
They had a fabulous 80s-themed wedding in 2015. But then, it was discovered that Beth was a bigamist. Next week, Beth will see her leave Weatherfield after being blackmailed by Kit Green. This came after Kit threatened Beth’s sidekick, for whom she was making fake t-shirts, to cancel his deal with Beth and join hands with him.
Actress Lisa revealed on This Morning that her final scenes will be shown in the upcoming episode. Now, soap fans are anxious that Andy might be next, especially after he posted a video of himself singing Kings of Leon’s ‘Sex on Fire’ at a local festival.
On Instagram, the ITV actor shared a video from Punch Fest. He captioned, “Had a top day at Punch Fest, and it was a privilege to get up and do a song with @organised.mayhem1, who I think are a very talented band, especially as they are only 14 years of age!!”
In the comments, one follower suggested he might be leaving Corrie to focus on music, but the Kirk actor clarified that Corrie remains his top priority while he enjoys singing occasionally. Co-star Tony Maudsley (George Shuttleworth) complimented Andy as a ‘rock star.’
While Beth’s departure is ready to shake things up, Kirk is here to stay. So, for more updates on Coronation Street, keep coming back to Soap Opera Daily! Let us see what’s next for Kirk after Beth leaves Weatherfield!
