Coronation Street have unveiled an emotional look back at Helen Worth’s 50 years as Gail Platt on the ITV soap.
‘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’ she said.
Joining the show as a feisty teenager, she quickly became one of the show’s most iconic characters, and has so far married five of the street’s men.
The poignant video takes us on a trip down memory lane from her first scene in 1974 to the present day.
