Releasing the video, Coronation Street said: "With just a week to go until Helen Worth and her character Gail McIntyre bid farewell to Weatherfield, Coronation Street have put together a poignant video trip down memory lane for fans.

"The montage was specially created for Helen's leaving party last month and there wasn't a dry eye in the Bistro as Helen, cast, and crew enjoyed the many highlights of her 50 years in the show.

"Now viewers have the chance to watch the beautifully curated eight-minute video and relive some of the classic moments that made Gail one of the most iconic characters in the show's history.

"From her arrival in Weatherfield in 1974, her many weddings, troublesome children and grandchildren, almost being murdered by Richard Hillman, fighting in the Street with arch-nemesis Eileen, her complex relationship with mum Audrey, and her famous monologue after Aidan's suicide, Helen has been involved in some of the most memorable storylines of Coronation Street's 64 years."

"One of the most iconic characters in the show's history"

Coronation Street airs on Virgin Media One and ITV on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays.
