Selena Gomez quitting Wisards of Waverly Place

Selena Gomez is set to quit her role on US TV show Wizards of Waverly Place. The actress, who plays Alex Russo on the hit Disney Channel series, will leave the smash hit kids’ program when its fourth season ends.

“Unfortunately, I’m doing my last season of my show, which I’m really heartbroken about. That’s gonna be a terrible time for me,” Gomez, 17, told MTV.

However, Selena will reprise her role one last time for a movie adaptation of the show, which will be a sequel to the 2009 Disney hit Wizards of Waverly Place: The Movie.

“I am going to do a movie for my show, which I’ll be excited to end it with, and then a tour,” she said.
