Matthew Wolfenden is leaving ITV's Emmerdale after 17 years on screen as David Metcalfe.
Matthew Wolfenden confirmed he’s leaving Emmerdale as he broke down on tears on Wednesday’s This Morning.
The star, 43, broke down as he watched clips of his time on the show. Joining the soap as David Metcalfe in 2006, Matthew has been at the centre of some of the programme’s biggest storylines over the past few years, including his partner Maya Stepney grooming and sexually abusing his then-teenage son Jacob Gallagher.
The actor, who was handed a tissue as he struggled to get on top of his feelings, went on to explain just what an impact being part of the Emmerdale cast for so long made to his life, as he opened up on meeting his wife Charley Webb, who played Debbie Dingle, on the show.
