However, the Michelle Connor actress told Soaplife: "It was one big massive rumour. Jamie's not really into joining another soap right now.
"He fancies doing something different, which is one of the reasons he left Hollyoaks. It's nice for him that there was such a buzz about it though."
Lomas, 32, starred in the Channel 4 teen soap as Warren Fox between 2006 and 2011.
Coronation Street bosses earlier this month unveiled Marc Baylis in the role of Carla's brother.
The couple's relationship was recently tested when Lomas was accused of cheating on the former Hear'Say singer.
I reckon the cocky cow thought it was in the bag, and it wasnt ha ha. Cant understand why they renewed her contract either.

She probably started the rumour herself to keep their names in the tabloids hoping somebody would hire him, they need the extra income to buy groceries as her salary is nowhere near enough.

Bless Kim. She really does know how to put a positive spin on things! Of course Jamie would have taken the Corrie gig if he had been offered it. The real truth of the matter is that somebody else got the job instead of him, so now he's suddenly not interested in another soap! :rolleyes:
