Yeah, he has left and I believe he is training to be a mechanic but I don't think he will nessesarily give up acting. I think he just needs some down time to do what he wants to do. Eastenders must be gruelling at times and he's done it for a while. I don't think we've seen the last of him! ;D
it was right sad when he left eastenders, i think its gonna lose a couple of viewers now lol,he was the only fit one in it but i dont think we've seen the last of him hes talented so hopefully he'll be back soon!!
