Kenny Doughty has confirmed he has quit Vera, after eight years on the ITV drama, announcing his departure in an emotional Instagram statement.
At the start of this month, Kenny, the popular actor famous for playing DS Aiden Healy in the Sunday night favourite, sparked concern amongst fans when he posted a series of photos from the Vera set on social media and captioned them 'thank you for the memories.' He offered no further explanation as to what he meant, with Vera devotees left worried for the future of the programme.
Well now it's all become clear as, returning to Instagram for the first time since that post, Kenny broke the news that he'd left Vera. His statement began: "After 8 years & 35 Vera films I’ve made the difficult decision of handing over DS Healy’s badge. I can confirm I am leaving Vera."
