Neighbours actress Jordy Lucas has announced that she is leaving the soap after almost three years playing Summer Hoyland.

The 20-year-old actress - who joined the show in 2009, taking over the role of the feisty young student from Marisa Siketa - is preparing to film her exit scenes for the Australian soap and her departure will air in the UK in early 2013.

Jordy revealed on Twitter: "Yes, I am leaving Neighbours. It's been three wonderful and happy years of my life. I couldn't be more grateful. Who knows what lies ahead!"

She also confirmed the news to TV Week, saying: "I've had a fantastic three years at Neighbours, and I am really looking forward to what my future has to offer."

Budding journalist Summer has been nursing a broken heart this year after splitting from boyfriend Andrew Robinson.
