Taking to Instagram, King said: "Hello everybody, Yasmeen here.

"Or I’m also known as Shelley King, but Yasmeen has been my name for the last ten and a half years in this glorious street.

"And I’m so privileged to be living in number six.

"I’ve had the most wonderful time.

"I’m very, very sad to be leaving.


"I just felt I’d have to try going back to the stage maybe, try to refresh Yasmeen.

"We’re very close, Yas and I, so - as you probably know - Yas is going to do other things."

Adding: "She will not say goodbye.
