PATSY Kensit is quitting Holby City after four years, she revealed to TV Biz last night.
Patsy, 42, has told bosses she has had enough of the gruelling filming schedule.
She will leave the BBC1 soap in September when her character, man-eating ward sister Faye Byrne is written out.
It will let her spend more time with her children, Lennon, 10, and James, 18, and fourth husband Jeremy Healy, after the couple have been going through a recent rocky patch.
Patsy said: "I have had a fantastic time playing Faye but I felt it was the right time to move on.
"I will really miss the cast and crew, but not the long hours! It has been lots of fun but very hard work. Although it can be a tough schedule at Elstree Studios, I will be very sorry to say goodbye to the fantastic team there." The actress wed DJ Jeremy last April, but her spokesman said: "They are experiencing difficulties and are trying to work things out." It is thought the door will be left open for Patsy's character to return, so she WON'T be killed off.
Her final scenes are likely to air at the end of the year. Patsy is expected to take time off before cracking on with a tell-all autobiography, due out next February. She also has other acting projects for later this year.
Patsy has previously been married to Oasis frontman Liam Gallagher, with whom she had Lennon, Simple Minds singer Jim Kerr, father of her son James, and keyboardist Dan Donovan of band Big Audio Dynamite.
