“This program has really changed my life for the better. It will always hold a truly loving place in my heart.

“This show has given me a lot, not only as an actor but as a man,” he said.

“These priceless lessons I learned at EastEnders will stay with me for the rest of my life.

“I will forever consider this entire experience the greatest blessing I can ask for. I love every second. “
