Danny Young, who plays 'footballer' Warren Baldwin in Corrie, has revealed that he was "gutted" when he discovered he was being axed from the show.

The young actor's well-publicised late night partying is what's thought to have upset producers, who dropped him after just eight months on the Street.

Danny told the Sunday Mirror: "I won't deny I was gutted I was leaving."

He added that he regretted the way he had been portrayed in the media: "One thing I regret is being tainted as the bad lad so early on.

"There was a picture of me when I was 17 holding a pint of Guinness. I was promoting a pub with Ryan Thomas (Jason Grimshaw) and the owner asked me to hold it.

"I wasn't drinking, but the next day I was splashed everywhere for underage drinking."

His interview follows his on and off-screen girlfriend, Candice/Nikki Sanderson, revealing that she plans to quit the show.

While Nikki claims she wants to pursue other projects, friends have said that the real reason is because she wants to be with Warren in London.
