Doctors actress Wendi Peters has reportedly quit the BBC soap less than a year after she took the starring role.<\/p>\n

The 55 year old plays Nina Bulsara in the medical show after joining earlier this year, but she is said to have already filmed her final scenes.<\/p>\n

A Doctors fan account on Instagram called @doctorsbbc has said that she is departing from her role.<\/p>\n

Sharing a picture of the actress on the page, they wrote: "Wendi Peters is departing from her role as Nina Bulsara, having filmed her final scenes this week."<\/p>\n

Fans were quick to pick up on the news as they commented on their disappointment at her possible departure.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

One person said: "Just when I was getting a bit used to her in doctors."<\/p>\n

While another wrote: "Aww, man, why? This character is an acquired taste to like, and she takes a bit of getting used to. Sorry to hear she's leaving. Good luck, Nina."<\/p>\n

Someone else penned: "I feel like it could have developed into a good character."<\/p>\n

"Oh no, I really liked her" commented one fan.<\/p>\n

OK!<\/b> have contacted the BBC for a comment on the speculation.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Over the years, Wendi has starred in a number of TV shows, but most notably, she played Cilla Battersby-Brown in Coronation Street from 2003 until 2007, and then again in 2014.<\/p>\n

Cilla is one of the most iconic Corrie characters in history, and she is the proud mum to Fiz Dobbs and Chesney Winter-Brown.<\/p>\n

She now lives in Wolverhampton, but she is often mentioned on the show by her two children.<\/p>\n

Away from her life on screen, earlier this year, Wendi split from her partner of 20 years, Kenny Linden.<\/p>\n

She moved out of their home to live alone in Hertfordshire.<\/p>\n

At the time, an insider told The Sun: \u201cWendi and Kenny were together for a long time and had a mostly happy marriage but grew apart. <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

"Wendi is focusing on her new role in Doctors and looking ahead to the future."<\/p>\n

The insider also reported that the couple's eldest daughter Gracie, who is also an actress, was still living at home with her father.<\/p>\n

In the past, the couple had gone through seven rounds of IVF to conceive Gracie.<\/p>\n

Kenny is also an actor, but in recent times, he has been registered blind due to a rare hereditary condition PXE (pseudoxanthoma elasticum,) which affects around 1,500 people in the UK.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
