Matthew King fans, grab your tissues - Emmerdale bosses have confirmed actor Matt Healy is leaving the show.
Having played the village bad boy for almost five years, Matt has decided to hang up his business suit and take on some new challenges.
Anita Turner, Series Producer says "Matt has been an asset to the show but we have both agreed that Matthew King will leave Emmerdale in an explosive storyline at the end of the year.
"We wish Matt all the best for the future."
Matt Healy says "After nearly five years of wearing Matthew's suits every morning and having to shave every day, I feel ready to pull on some bermuda shorts and grow a goatee!
"On a serious note, I've had a brilliant time at Emmerdale and I'm excited about what lies ahead."

I just adore this bad boy although I am sure that a lot of people will not miss him.

I love him, always did, much better than his two gormless brothers. Please don't kill him off, let him find love and leave, so he can return if he wants to, even if he never does.

This is a shame he is the best of the Kings

I hope he doesnt die

Emmerdale is really going downhill at present

[Bad Wolf]

gutted, he is the only half decent brother, so they might as well bin the lot of them,

[Chloe O'brien]

I'm going to miss Matt and his panto baddie ways. I doubt EE will kill him off as the kings have already lost a brother. i'm sure it won't be the last we have seen of Mr Healy
