Mr Selfridge stars Aisling Loftus and Gregory Fitoussi have spoken to Digital Spy about their characters' exit from the show.

Agnes (Loftus) and Henri (Fitoussi) departed the ITV series in tonight's (February 15) episode, following troubles in their marriage caused by Henri's war trauma.

"At the end of the second series, separately we both decided to leave the show," Fitoussi told DS. "...and we agreed to make a few [more] episodes to have the characters leave."

Fitoussi called the couple's exit "satisfying", while Loftus also described it as "a really natural ending [that] makes sense".

" I think if people are fans of Henri and Agnes, they would feel it's a satisfying ending," she said. "Ultimately, as much as its been difficult, they love each other and that's the end note.

"It's a huge ensemble cast - there's a lot of characters so I think it makes sense, as a viewer, [to say] 'Let's look at what other people are up to'."

Mr Selfridge creator Andrew Davies told DS last year that the ITV drama "was always conceived" with four series in mind.

"Every story has an end," said Fitoussi. "We have to come to an end, or it's just for bad reasons you keep going - for money or just because it's doing well."

Loftus added: "I personally hate when something when something doesn't conclude. I hate when it falls off in the ratings and then it gets cancelled.

"I love when it's a series like True Detective - you spend eight hours with these people, then you're gonna let go. So if that's what they're gonna do with Mr Selfridge at the end of four series, then great."

Mr Selfridge continues its third series next Sunday at 9pm on ITV.
