CORONATION Street icon Helen Worth has announced her plans to quit the show as she marks 50 years of playing Gail Platt.
She will celebrate her golden anniversary on the show next month and it will be a momentous occasion for her in more ways than one.
Half a century after she first walked onto the cobbles, viewers will see Helen and Gail bid farewell to Weatherfield in a major storyline for the Platt family.
Helen, 73, will start filming her exit story next month and the emotional scenes will be on screen at the end of the year.
Speaking of her upcoming exit, Helen said: “This year felt like the perfect time to leave the show after celebrating 50 years in the most wonderful job on the most wonderful street in the world. I made the decision at the start of the year and spoke to the producers who were very kind and understanding.
