A Hollyoaks star has left a heartfelt message amid his departure from the Channel 4 show.
After almost two years on Hollyoaks, as well as a number of high profile storylines, Tomi Ade has departed from his role as DeMarcus Westwood. In the final episode, Vicky (Anya Lawrence) wanted to make sure how much he knew how much he meant to everyone by turning up to say one last goodbye.
As he prepared to leave the village, DeMarcus' dad Felix also apologised to his son for leaving in the past, admitting that he let DeMarcus down. DeMarcus told his dad: “You were there when it mattered,” before letting him know that he wasn’t leaving the country because of him.
