After Michael Strahan gushed about how much he likes Katie's role and the show, the actress had to disappoint him.

She told the talk show host: 'No [I won't be returning]. I'm going to play Jackie Kennedy - we start in April.

'I think they are already filming Ray Donovan. I can't do both.'

Katie is playing Jackie O for the second time in upcoming Reelz miniseries called The Kennedys After Camelot.

Her decision to leave the Showtime series - in which she played the manipulative daughter of a billionaire producer opposite Liev Schreiber's title character - is not due to any bad feelings.

The star said: 'I loved it, it was a really wonderful experience and the braces were fun!'

Katie's character wore braces to alleviate her severe migraines, but that remained a mystery for some time.

The Showtime show remains a fan favourite and follows Ray Donovan, a former thug turned fixer for Hollywood's elite.

Katie can next be seen in the film Touched By Fire in which she plays a woman suffering from bipolar, who falls for another bipolar suffer.

The 37-year-old said she spent some time preparing for the tough role.

'Preparing for the role took a lot, there was a lot of research and I worked with someone to help me break it down and wrap my head around it. You don't want to take on a role like this and not do your best because so many people are suffering from this.'
