ANOTHER day another leaving party for Coronation Street's Lucy Fallon.
The 24-year-old – who played Bethany Platt - has finally filmed her last scenes on the show and has been celebrating her exit in style.
The actress already had a boozy karaoke party earlier this week to say goodbye to the cobbles, but decided she would have one more party to wave a proper farewell.
After filming her last scenes on Thursday, she really let her hair down by throwing a lavish bash to say bon voyage last night.
Her fellow Corrie cast also treated her to a leaving gift and Lucy was seen leaving the bash with a personalised card, gift bags, flowers and a balloon.
At the party, Lucy treated guests to cupcakes and chocolate bars with her face on, as well as plenty of cocktails.
There was also a wall of flowers and balloons and a DJ, who got the guests dancing.
Lucy shared lots of videos on her Insta story of her enjoying a tipple and singing along to the music with her friends.
The blonde star was seen dancing with co-stars, as well as friends and family, as she necked drinks and let her hair down.
Before the party she Lucy shared an emotional goodbye on Instagram and admitted she broke down in tears as the cameras stopped rolling.

She wrote: "I’m writing this with mascara all over my face and tears/snot dripping onto my clothes but that’s a wrap... on what has been the most incredible 5 years of my life.
"It’s so crazy to me that 5 years ago, I had just finished 6th form and had no idea what direction life was going to take me in."
Lucy shot her final scenes on Thursday and was waved off by fans fans who had gathered at the studio.
An insider told The Sun Online: “Lucy was greeted by loads of fans as she left the set. It was very emotional, people were crying as they showered her with gifts. Some had waited over two hours to say goodbye and one girl had travelled six hours to be there and just to give her a card."
