Coronation Street star Rob James-Collier is to be killed off in a murder that will be reportedly filmed three different ways.
The 31-year-old plays Underworld factor boss Liam Connor, the current Street hunk, announced he wanted out earlier this year.
The Mirror reports that there will be three different arrests after Liam's brutal murder.
A Coronation Street source said: "Rob actually wanted his character to be killed off - a bit like Phil Middlemiss did when he also wanted the demise of his character, Des Barnes.
"People are sad to see Rob go as he is such a lovely bloke. But he was adamant he wanted to leave."
Rob made it clear he was unhappy being typecast in the ITV1 soap and was especially uncomfortable being named sexiest male at the British Soap Awards two years running.
