Speaking about his exit after it was announced this week, he said: “After five beautiful years on this incredible show, I have made the tough decision to leave Walford and give Keegan Butcher-Baker some well-earned rest.
“This show has quite frankly changed my life for the better.”
It comes as the Sun on Sunday revealed that Maisie Smith, who played Keegan’s wife on the soap, will be reprising her role as Tiffany for a cameo after quitting herself.
A source said: “Bosses felt Tiffany had unfinished business with Keegan that needed a resolution before he left.
“So they decided to ask her back for one episode. Viewers will have to wait to see if they manage to fix their relationship or whether the bad blood that we’ve seen between them continues.”
In the run-up to Tiffany’s exit, fans saw her devastated when she caught husband Keegan cheating on her with Dotty Cotton (Milly Zero).
She went on to date Aaron Monroe but broke up with him after he showed his aggressive colours.
She was then seen spending the night with Keegan and had hoped he would leave with her – but a mix up led to them missing each other.
