With the beloved sitcom set to end this year, The Big Bang Theory's Kaley Cuoco has admitted that she's "already losing it".

Cuoco has portrayed Penny on the show since it first began in 2007, so you can imagine the emotions she's feeling as the final episodes get filmed.

Chatting to USA Today during a set visit, the American actress shared: "I am, like, already losing it. These last few episodes have been really heartbreaking.

"This sounds cheesy, but I've passed the Friends stage for 20 years as an actor, and I always wanted our stage to be that way. I always thought that was so cool. This is really special."

Cuoco's was referencing the bronze plaque recently given to Warner Bros.' Stage 25, where The Big Bang Theory shoots in front of a live studio audience. The show became only the fifth of its kind to receive such an honour at the studio lot, joining Two and a Half Men, Friends, E.R. and The Ellen DeGeneres Show.

Co-creator Chuck Lorre said of the reward: "You come to work every day to make a good show. We don't think about getting a plaque, but the plaque is extremely rewarding. It makes the show part of the history of the lot."

As for Kaley, she's previously revealed that she's so desperate not to see the show go that she's already hoping for a reboot.

The Big Bang Theory airs on CBS in the US and on E4 and Netflix in the UK.
