Coronation Street star Liam Scholes has found himself in the spotlight again, but this time it’s not because of a storyline on the cobbles. His ex-girlfriend Roisin Riley has finally spoken out after their shock split, and her emotional statement is turning heads, especially after rumours suggested she was nothing more than a rebound.
Roisin Riley Confirms the Split and Shuts Down “Rebound” Claims
Roisin Riley, the former girlfriend of Coronation Street and Waterloo Road actor Liam Scholes, has broken her silence for the first time since their breakup. The blonde model spoke exclusively to The Sun and confirmed that she and Liam have officially parted ways, ending weeks of speculation about what really happened between them. She didn’t just confirm the split; she also addressed the claims surrounding it. Roisin said breakups are never easy, but she wanted to make one thing clear: there’s no animosity between them.
According to her, they have chosen to move forward with mutual respect and remain on good terms, even though the breakup itself has been painful.
Roisin also explained that she isn’t someone who usually lives in the spotlight, so waking up to multiple articles about their relationship ending felt overwhelming. She admitted the unexpected attention pushed her to speak out, and she strongly shut down the narrative that she was only a rebound.
Their Relationship Timeline and Why It Was Fishy
Liam and Roisin first went public as a couple when they attended the red carpet event for 101 Dalmatians Musical at The Palace Theatre in Manchester.
They looked completely loved-up as they posed together, and that appearance served as their big “hard launch” moment around 16 months ago. Their romance began just months after Liam’s split from his former Coronation Street co-star Elle Mulvaney. That quick timeline raised eyebrows right away.
Even though the couple stayed together for over a year, the early rumours never fully went away. A source previously told The Sun that Liam and Roisin tried to make things work but eventually grew apart. The insider also suggested that the relationship may have started too quickly after Liam and Elle’s breakup, and in the end, that rushed beginning might have played a part in why things didn’t last.
Even after the breakup, Roisin and Liam appear to be keeping things friendly. They still follow each other on Instagram, and Roisin spoke warmly about the impact Liam has had on her life. She also revealed she’s excited to move forward as an aspiring actress, hinting that she’s focusing on her own future now. Stay tuned to Soap Opera Daily for more Coronation Street spoilers.
