Confirming her exit, Katie took to Instagram to share a lengthy message with Hollyoaks fans and her thousands of followers.
"Becky Quentin, over and out! @HollyoaksOfficial," she began alongside a picture of her in character as Becky.
"It’s been an absolute pleasure playing Becky and getting my teeth into something so different and gritty!
"As an actor, to be able to portray someone that has so much likeness to extremely current global issues from conspiracy theories to anti-vaxxers, coronavirus and sinophobia…

She added: "Thank you to the entire cast and crew for being so unbelievably amazing and welcoming me with open arms!
"I will miss you all, but other exciting opportunities beckon… "
She also encouraged those affected by the subjects covered throughout Becky’s time in Hollyoaks to visit Channel 4's support website.
