Life in Emmerdale could never be the same again after claims that Graham Foster's time in the village is coming to an end...

There's bad news for Emmerdale fans as one of the best-loved characters, Graham Foster, is reportedly departing the show as actor Andrew Scarborough quits after two years.

It has been claimed that actor Andrew will be filming his final scenes on the soap in the coming weeks, but the bosses at Emmerdale are remaining tight-lipped about Graham's departure from the village.

A source has reportedly told Daily Star on Sunday that Graham's exit is going to be full of drama: "Andrew's been a great addition to the cast and has been involved in some of Emmerdale's biggest storylines since he arrived in the village in 2017.

"So he was never going to leave in the back of the taxi. His exit will be huge and will kick start a drama-filled and action-packed year in the Dales."
