"I can't do this no more," she said, becoming tearful with Sharon and admitting she was going to leave.

She added: "All I'll do if I stay here is turn into mum. I'm just haunting the place and you know it."

"It's different for you and Ian, you're not the same as you were back in the day.

"You've built lives and a future, what am I building?"

But nothing Sharon said could convince her to stay.

She said: "I'm going to see Vicky and Mark and then I'm going travelling for a bit and try to get my head straight."

"I don't want to live in the past anymore," she added after spending the episode convincing Sharon and Mel that she hadn't tried to seduce Hunter.

The Sun revealed how bosses decided to write the character out after she was deemed to be "going nowhere".
