However, I wonder if he will be returning for the live episode in September. Hayley Tamaddon, who plays Lloyd's girlfriend Andrea, revealed in an interview with Radio Times earlier this year that Andrea will leave the show with Lloyd during September’s live episode.
I'll miss Craig Charles a lot on the show as I rate him highly as an actor and Lloyd's a great character too.
Craig is leaving to record a new series of Red Dwarf as well as taking his trunk of funk on the road with the Funk and Soul Roadshow, and continuing his Radio 6 funk and soul show, which I love.

Last time Craig left the show for a break in December 2011, Streetcars gave Lloyd a 10-horn salute as the cabs beeped their horns on his exit, as it were.
Let's hope we'll see Craig again on Coronation Street.
