James Sutton has revealed he is quitting 'Hollyoaks' after two years on the soap.
The 25-year-old actor, who plays gay student John Paul McQueen in the show, films his final scenes this month and will last be seen on screen in September.
Speaking about his departure, James said: "I've had a really great time working on 'Hollyoaks' but after much thought I've decided that it's time to bring it to an end.
"I'd like to take this opportunity to thank everyone at 'Hollyoaks' for making my time here so memorable. I'm also really grateful to the viewers for their continued support and commitment to the character and the storyline."

Producer Bryan Kirkwood added: "In two short years, James Sutton has achieved amazing success in his role as John Paul McQueen.
"His sensitive, honest portrayal of a young man coming to terms with his sexuality and dealing with the aftermath has captivated viewers and critics, won many awards and has been at the heart of 'Hollyoaks' recent success. James will, I'm sure, go on to great things."
Although no specific details of his exit storyline have been released, James' departure will reportedly coincide with the brief return of Guy Burnett, who played John Paul's lover Craig Dean.
