Louiza Patikas

Louiza Patikas (born c.1977) is a British actor, best known for her portrayal of Helen Titchener in the long-running radio drama The Archers. Although she had, as of 2016, played the character for 16 years since she left drama school, 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. Patikas discussed the storyline on BBC Radio 4's Woman's Hour in March 2016.

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.

She also works as a journalist and fashion stylist.

She is married to Jonathan Aris, who she met while making the 2005 ITV comedy drama Planespotting.
