Watch a behind-the-scenes video of Helen Worth's final moments on the Coronation Street set.

Hundreds of cast and crew on Coronation Street gathered to witness Helen Worth's final scene on the show after her remarkable 50-year stint on the cobbles.

Christmas Day's episode saw Gail marry Jesse (John Thomson) and bid goodbye to her family and friends before leaving Weatherfield for a new life in France.

On screen, Gail's last scene was her leaving in a taxi but in reality those scenes were shot several days before the final scene that Worth actually filmed, which was fittingly inside the Platts' living room.

A new behind-the-scenes video captures her final moments on set, which sees the first AD call cut and Worth notice the many colleagues that have gathered behind the cameras to give her a rousing send-off.

Fighting back tears, she said: "The reason I've been here all these years, and it's a lot of years - it's more than I can think about really - is because of all of you people that have been here for, well, some of you for all of those fifty years and others for half of that time.

"But I couldn't have done any of it without you. I really couldn't. You are the most amazing team of people, and I really do say thank you.

"And as for this lot, who didn't tell me [about this]. Oh God, I love them so much. I don't quite know what I'm going to do without you. But thank you for everything."
