Emmerdale’s Matthew Wolfenden has revealed he is leaving the hit ITV soap after almost 20 years - to star in Elf the Musical.

However, he added the door had been ‘left open’ for him to return in the future. He said: “They’re not killing me off. I’ve been promised…and I am allowed to tell you that. Who knows, I might be back.”

“There is a resolution of sorts, but I can’t give too much away,’ Matthew said. “Victoria is the reason why he leaves the village, put it that way. It’s not the best, but he leaves because of her in a way.”
