Helen Worth leaves Coronation Street after 50 years

Actress Helen Worth is to leave Coronation Street after five decades on the cobbles.
Worth celebrates her golden anniversary on the show next month, having played Gail Rodwell, formerly Gail Platt, since 1974.
The soap say her character Gail will "bid farewell to Weatherfield in a major storyline for the Platt family".
Speaking on the decision to leave, Worth, 73, said: "I made the decision at the start of the year and spoke to the producers who were very kind and understanding.
“I have been truly blessed to have been given the most incredible scripts week in week out, and to have worked with fantastic actors, directors and a brilliant crew.
“The past 50 years have flown by and I don't think the fact that I am leaving has quite sunk in yet.”
