Evil Joel Deering’s story is heading for a conclusion on Coronation Street. This means that actor Calum

Lill is well on his way out of the ITV soap. Calum has confirmed the news of his exit by penning a note on

social media, in which he opened up about his rapport with a co-star.

Calum took to Instagram to share a tribute to his ‘best mate’ Channique Sterling-Brown, who popularly plays the role of Dee Dee on the soap. The actor posted a series of pictures on his official Instagram account and raved about his co-star in the caption. “Thank you for being my best mate at work and taking me under your wing, he penned.

Furthermore, he praised Cannique’s skills as a performer by stating that despite her busy schedule she still “smashes” it every time. “Thanks for always finding the time to take the mick out of me and for sharing your desserts as I always forget to grab one. You’re amazing. Keep smashing it Queen,” he concluded.

Channique was quick to take a jibe at her beloved co-star. “Someone’s getting soft in their old age. Thanks for being my work bestie always,” she joked, but also expressed her love and appreciation for Calum Lill.

Wow! One look at the post and anyone can guess the amazing rapport Calum and Channique share. Interstingly, their real-life rapport is such a sharp contrast to their problematic online relationship. Previously, the pair were engaged before Dee-Dee found out about Joel’s crimes. However, once she realized how evil Joel is, she decided to help DS Lisa Swain in bringing him to justice.

For the unversed, Coronation Street spoilers revealed that Joel had been grooming and exploiting young girls for his personal pleasure. Lauren Boltin too, was one of his victims. The spoilers confirm that the story will reach its climax in the upcoming weeks, and Joel will be off the screens.
