Coronation Street’s Ollie Driscoll<\/a> only arrived on the cobbles last year, but next week sees him considering a life further afield. The chef reveals he has been applying for jobs outside of Manchester, leaving his loved ones heartbroken.<\/p>\n

Ollie first appeared on screen last summer as the client and later love interest of Dee-Dee Bailey. After his mysterious arrival<\/a>, it was revealed that his family \u2013 including stepmum Eva Price \u2013 were the new owners of The Rovers Return. <\/p>\n

Ollie has taken a bit of a backseat in recent months, with his brother Will Driscoll’s grooming ordeal<\/a> taking centre stage. But in upcoming episodes, the chef shocks his loved ones by telling them he’s been offered a job in Brighton. <\/p>\n

In scenes that will air on 22 and 23 July, an excited Ollie shares the news with his former flame Lauren Bolton<\/a>. The barmaid is heartbroken at the thought of Ollie leaving but encourages him to take the great opportunity. <\/p>\n

Later, Ben answers a call on his son’s phone and receives a disappointing update from the restaurant in Brighton. They tell him that Ollie has taken too long to respond and the position has already been filled. <\/p>\n

Fortunately, all is not lost for the young man, as Leanne Battersby offers him a chef job at Speed Daal, which he gratefully accepts \u2013 much to the relief of his family. <\/p>\n

“The Driscolls aren’t ready for Ollie to say goodbye \u2013 he’s been a supportive, calming presence for the family amid all the trouble with Will,” explains our Corrie insider.<\/p>\n

“It’ll be great to have him sticking around on the cobbles \u2013 but will Ben support him now working for a rival to the Rovers?”<\/p>\n

Coronation Street airs on weeknights at 8.30pm on ITV1 and streams on ITVX<\/a>.<\/p>\n
