CORRIE hunk Tom Hudson is leaving the soap in a storyline which sees his character Paul Clayton torch Leanne Battersby’s restaurant in an insurance scam.
Paul – Jack Duckworth’s grandson – sets fire to the failing business after ex-hooker Leanne (Jane Danson) bribes him with sexual favours.
The steamy storyline is set to hit screens in April and will climax in May as Tom flees the Street.
Tom, 21, told TV Biz: “I’ve loved it on Corrie but I’ve got other things planned.”
But he hinted that it won’t be the last time Street fans see him. The actor said: “Paul’s just like his dad Terry and he’ll definitely return to Weatherfield to cause more trouble for his grandad.”
He added: “It’s a great storyline – exactly the kind of exit I hoped for.”
Viewers have seen Paul, who works in Leanne’s restaurant Valandros, falling for the maneater since he helped her set up the business last year.
And when Leanne makes her indecent proposal – Paul can’t resist.
A show source said: “Leanne is Paul’s ideal woman. So when she offers him the chance to get into her knickers, he jumps at it.”
Paul will leave when the insurance scam backfires and cops issue a warrant for his arrest.
Our source added: “The police get involved and Paul is determined not to go to jail.
