A Coronation Street legend from Lancashire has announced she will be leaving the ITV soap this year.
Coronation Street stalwart Helen Worth is set to leave the ITV soap opera after starring as Gail Platt for 50 years, the broadcaster has announced. The 73-year-old actress, who grew up in Morecambe where her parents ran a seaside hotel, will bid farewell to the cobbles at the end of the year after she celebrates her golden anniversary next month. Helen will leave the show following a 'major storyline for the Platt family', which she is due to start filming next month.
After being made an MBE for her services to drama in the Queen's Birthday Honours List in 2022, Helen told the PA news agency: 'To have had a job and one that I love, and to be able to work in it is quite extraordinary. And then to get an award for it is just the icing on the cake.
