Coronation Street has revealed the new Summer Spellman
The character of Summer Spellman in Coronation Street has been recast.
Matilda Freeman previously played the part but after she left the soap earlier this year Summer will now be played by Harriet Bibby.
The character will return to TV screens next month when she comes back to Weatherfield after staying with her grandmother.
Bibby, lived in Wigan for several years before recently moving to Manchester has previously starred in Doctors and Brassic.
Summer is the adopted daughter of Drew Spellman and, after his diagnosis with terminal cancer, she began splitting her time between her legal guardians - Billy Mayhew and Todd Grimshaw - and her grandmother.
Freeman said: "I'd like to say thank you to my second family - the cast, crew and viewers who have supported me during my time on the cobbles.
"After three and a half lovely years I felt it was time for a change and I'm excited to be starting that chapter with a new role."
Coronation Street will celebrate its 60th anniversary later this year.
The programme, the world's longest-running TV soap according to Guinness World Records, will celebrate the milestone on December 9th.
