Louiza Patikas (born c. 1977) is a British actress, best known for her portrayal of Helen Titchener in the long-running radio soap opera, The Archers. Although she had, as of 2016, played the character for 16 years[1] since she left drama school,[2] she was generally little-known to the public, until her character's involvement in a storyline about domestic abuse and coercive control caught the public imagination.[2][3] Patikas discussed the storyline on BBC Radio 4's Woman's Hour in March 2016.[4]

In December 2016, Patikas selected and presented her round-up of the year's radio highlights for BBC Radio 4's Pick of the Year.[5]

She also works as a journalist and fashion stylist.[6]

In 2007, she married actor Jonathan Aris, whom she met while making the 2005 ITV comedy drama Planespotting.[6]

In June 2017, it was announced Patikas would be joining the cast of long-running ITV soap opera, Coronation Street, playing Moira Pollock.[7]
