Hollyoaks actress Emma Rigby has confirmed that she is to bow out of the show in December.

The 19-year-old, who plays Hannah Ashworth in the Channel 4 soap, originally announced her intention to quit in November last year, but new series producer Lucy Allan convinced her to stay on for an additional six months with the promise of big storylines and a juicy exit plot.

Speaking to DS at the British Soap Awards, she said: "I'm actually going to stay in the show until December, so I'm here until the end of the year."
