Adam Thomas is lifting the lid on his decision to walk away from Emmerdale.

The 29-year-old actor revealed earlier this year, after much speculation in the press, that he'd be quitting his role as Adam Barton in the ITV soap in 2018.

In the latest issue of OK! Magazine, Adam opens up about the huge emotional toll that walking away from the Dales has taken on him after so many years on the show.

"'I've been on the show for eight years and I've made some great friends there so it was very emotional," he admitted.

The actor went on to say: "We had a bit of a wrap party and all the cast made a leaving video for me, which made me cry like a baby."

As for what lies ahead, Adam will probably be spending some quality family time in the year because he's just announced that he's expecting his second child with wife Caroline Daly.

"We always wanted another baby but we weren't planning for it to happen so soon after getting married," he revealed.

"It took me totally by surprise. I have to say, I lost my head a bit over it. I immediately cracked open the gin. I've not cried throughout the pregnancy but if I find out we're having a girl, I will probably cry."

Adam has previously expressed interest in hosting his own chatshow, so keep an eye out for that at some point in the future if his busy parenting schedule ever eases up.
