Steve Carell confirms he is leaving The Office

The BBC reports: Actor Steve Carell has confirmed he will leave The Office at the end of its 2010-2011 season.

"Yes, it will be my last," he told US magazine at the Los Angeles premiere of his new animated film Despicable Me.

"It's the last on my contract, and I want to honour my contract," the 47-year-old is quoted as saying.

NBC has yet to comment on his departure but is reportedly considering whether to continue the show without him.

Carell has starred in The Office since NBC launched its version of the "mockumentary" comedy series in 2005. He won a Golden Globe for his work in the show in 2006 and was nominated for an Emmy four years running.

Carell said he expected to be "very nostalgic" towards the end of his tenure, saying his colleagues were "some of my best friends in the world."
