Leighton Meester has revealed that she will leave Gossip Girl in 2012.
The actress - who plays Blair Waldorf on the CW drama - said that she will leave when her current contract ends in "two more years" to pursue a career in film, reports E Online.
"[I] obviously enjoy working on the show and living in New York," she explained. "[But] it allows you to be ready for when the show's over."
Asked whether she believes that Gossip Girl will continue after 2012, Meester said: "I don't know but I think there's that old saying about wanting to go out on top."
