Home and Away star Penny McNamee has revealed she is exiting as Tori Morgan.

First seen on screens in May 2016, Penny leaves after more than five years on the show. Speaking to WHO magazine, the star said the upcoming wedding storyline for Tori and her partner Christian Green (Ditch Davey) was the "perfect send-off for my character".

"I'm not someone who looks backwards," she said. "I'm a real believer in everything has its season, and leaving the show felt like the end of a season to me.

"I feel hugely grateful for the amazing time I've had on the show."

When asked what has been special about her time as Tori, Penny said: "Being gifted such an amazing character was incredible. She was a career woman, a doctor, she'd lost both her parents, and she opted to have a baby on her own. It was a challenge to play this complicated woman every day, but I loved it too.

"I really loved learning so much about medicine and surgery and the medical language she used.

"If her character was just someone who went to the diner every day and talked about her boyfriend, I don't think I would have stayed on the show for so long."

Tori and Christian currently have plans to leave Summer Bay after the wedding for a fresh start in England, with Tori accepting a job at a London hospital.

The wedding itself will be shown on September 27 in Australia and a few weeks later in the UK.

Home and Away airs weekdays at 1.15pm and 6pm on Channel 5 (UK) and Mondays to Thursdays at 7pm on Channel 7 (Australia). Selected classic episodes are available via Amazon Prime Video in the UK.
