“Sadly she had to bow out forcing bosses to recast at the last minute.
“She’s looking forward to return to screens in the new year and has been busy filming the new show.”
Actress Olivia Bernstone has now taken over the role of Amber going forward.
Charlotte is now going to be one of the three lead characters in new BBC period drama The Hairdresser Mysteries alongside Sally Phillips and Charlotte Hope.
The series sees a new hairdresser, Lily Petal, played by Sally, moving into a small village in the 70s and beginning to uncover all the residents’ secrets.
Meanwhile Charlotte’s new job can also be revealed as having a Coronation Street link too.
The period drama has been created by renowned playwright Jim Cartwright – who is the father of current Corrie villain Theo – actor James Cartwright.
And the entire production was funded with the money saved by the BBC after it axed daytime soap Doctors.
Reps for Charlotte have been contacted for comment.
