Remove any price from a string - +Rep

I'm having trouble trying to remove prices (£xxx.xx) from within a string. In other words, I need to find anything within a string from £1.00 to £1111.99 and remove it.

I suspect I may need to use preg_replace or preg_match however I have not had any luck so far.

If you have any suggestions I'd be very grateful and will provide rep.

Thanks

 

preg_replace('~£([0-9]{1,4})\.([0-9]{2})~', '', $str);

PHP:
