'Waterloo Road' star confirms low-key exit

Angela Griffin has confirmed that her Waterloo Road character will not bow out of the show in dramatic fashion.

The actress confirmed last year that she was leaving her role as Kim Campbell on the BBC drama in order to concentrate on other projects.

Speaking to What's On TV about how her exit will work, Griffin explained: "When the next series of Waterloo Road comes on, I'll be in it - I've shot another ten episodes. But after that, [Kim leaves]."

Asked whether her alter ego's final storyline will be explosive, she replied: "No, it's not. It's not going to be dramatic. I don't die, I can tell you that much!"

Griffin is currently presenting talk show Angela and Friends, which airs as part of Sky1's daytime schedule.

Denise Welch's character Steph Haydock is also leaving Waterloo Road this year because the actress wants to concentrate on Loose Women and her autobiography.
