ITV's Emmerdale has confirmed the exit scenes of Ellis Chapman after actor Aaron Anthony reportedly quit his role following a race row.
Claims made last year reported that Aaron made the decision not to renew his contract after it had been reported that ITV bosses launched an investigation into two of the show's biggest actors following an alleged race row.
The soap recently released a series of new teasers which hints at Emmerdale's Ellis leaving the Dales for good.
In a phone call set to air in coming scenes, Ellis receives some unexpected news that he's been offered a job abroad.
In light of this Ellis will leave the village next week which will see his love interest Belle Dingle [Eden Taylor-Draper] heartbroken.
It's still not officially been confirmed by the soap or the actor whether he has left the soap.
However tensions after an alleged race row last year between Ellis and a co-star has led viewers and fans to speculate about the outcome.
Insiders told The Sun that the 28-year-old actor was furious about the alleged behaviour of the show's stars Matthew Wolfenden and Isabel Hodgins.
Matthew, 41, and Isobel, 28, who play the show's David Metcalfe and Victoria Sugden, became wrapped in claims after they were accused of mimicking and mocking a mixed-race actress.
The stars have categorically denied any allegations of wrongdoing.
Insiders have claimed that tensions between Aaron and Matthew became heated after the two engaged in a row over the alleged incident.
In upcoming Emmerdale scenes, Ellis doesn't get a chance to break the unfortunate news to Belle.
Al [Michael Wildman] mistakenly believes Belle knows the truth and tells her everything.
A heartbroken Belle is furious to realise Ellis is dumping her and that she had to find out from Al and not him.
Ellis is set to say his goodbyes to those in the village next week.
Emmerdale airs weeknights at 7pm on ITV, with an extra episode at 8pm on Thursdays.
