The soap star announced the news on Twitter after devastated fans launched a petition just four days ago to bring his character
Emmerdale star Michael Parr has landed himself a new job.
Taking to his Twitter account, the 29-year-old actor - who became famous playing the late Ross Barton - broke the news to his loyal army of followers on Friday.
He wrote: "Off to London now. Got a new job, can't say what it is but when we start rehearsals I'll let you know."
While some fans were quick to wish him good luck, others were disappointed as the admission seemed to indicate that he would almost certainly never be reprising his on-screen alter-ego Ross.
