Ashley Jensen is leaving Ugly Betty, it has been confirmed.

Entertainment Weekly reports that the Scottish actress will leave her role as Betty's best friend Christina McKinney at the end of the current season.

It has also been reported that Jensen has been cast in the CBS comedy pilot Accidentally On Purpose.

She will play a San Francisco movie critic who finds herself pregnant after a fling with a much younger man.

Executive producer Silvio Horta said of her departure: "While we're sad that Ashley will not be returning next season as a series regular, she is still a member of the Ugly Betty family. So don't be surprised if you see Christina pop back up in Betty's life."

Earlier this year, Jensen denied that she was leaving the show.

Gutted. she is one of my favourites.

C4 have treated Ugly Betty worse that they've treated Desperate Housewives. They'd better get Betty back on soon.

I'll be sad to see Ashley go, Christina was one of my faovurite characters

You're correct, the first series of Ugly Betty began during Celebrity Big Brother 5 in 2007

However, whilst C4 Viewer Enquiries telling me that Season 3 will air sometime this summer, I can't see it happening during Big Brother, unless they move Betty to a different night.

I will miss her but I think her character is going nowhere so it wont be a substantial loss but there needs to be some major new characters for season 4
