In a statement, Helen, 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."
