Patricia Allison has revealed that she will not be returning as Ola Nyman for season 4 of Netflix’s smash hit comedy-drama Sex Education.
Speaking on Capital Xtra’s breakfast show on Tuesday, the actress told presenters Yinka Bokinni and Shayna Marie that she will not be joining the cast for the latest instalment of the coming-of-age drama.
‘I absolutely have loved being on Sex Education so so much, and playing Ola but unfortunately, I won’t be joining the team for season four,’ the 27-year-old explained.
The revelation shocked Yinka who labelled the move ‘an outrage’, before Patricia said she made the decision in order to be able do ‘some other little things.’
‘Some other opportunities have come up. So, I’ve been doing it for three years and I’ve like genuinely loved it,’ she added.
But Patricia admitted it was ‘absolutely’ a hard decision to make and said sometimes you have to say goodbye to projects that you love to move forwards.

Yinka and Shayna later went on to congratulate the rising star, saying: ‘We’re very excited for you but we’re really sad.’
Patricia joined the Sex Education cast halfway through the show’s debut season in 2019 as character Ola.
Ola became a love interest for the show’s lead character Otis Milburn (Asa Butterfield), but the relationship became complicated when his mum played by Gillian Anderson began a relationship with Ola’s dad (Mats Blomgren).
