Inside Soap Award Nominations: Matt Healy looks very dapper
Matt Healy has played Matthew King in Emmerdale for 5 years

Emmerdale's Matt Healy quits

Matthew King actor to leave soap in dramatic storyline

Wednesday, 6 August 2008

Emmerdale’s Matt Healy has announced that he's leaving the ITV1 soap at the end of the year.

The actor, who plays shady businessman Matthew King, is set to be written out in a dramatic fashion.

‘Matthew King will leave Emmerdale in an explosive storyline,’ a show producer tells the Daily Star.

The 39-year-old has played the character for over 5 years and says he’s looking forward to a change of pace.

‘After 5 years wearing Matthew's suits every morning and having to shave every day, I feel ready to pull on some Bermuda shorts and grow a goatee,’ he says.

‘But I've had a brilliant time at Emmerdale and I'm excited about what lies ahead.’ 

His final scenes will air in December.
