Aaron Anthony reportedly quits his role as Ellis Chapman on Emmerdale following an alleged dispute with two of his fellow cast members.

Aaron Anthony has reportedly quit Emmerdale after an alleged fallout with two fellow cast members.

Last month it was reported that two established cast members on the show had been suspended as producers investigated allegations that they had mocked a mixed-race actress's accent.

Anthony, who plays Ellis Chapman on the soap, is said to have been furious over the incident - although the two actors concerned vehemently deny any wrongdoing.

According to The Sun, Anthony has now decided to hand in his resignation after the probe concluded with no further action.

"Aaron is bitterly angry about this situation and he has had to be persuaded to come back to Leeds to film his scenes in recent months," a source told the newspaper.

"He has done some filming over the last couple of weeks, but the understanding is that those scenes will be his last.

"He has been very vocal in his opinions about the allegations and about the way in which the enquiries have been handled by the bosses. He now feels his position on the show is untenable."

ITV has yet to comment on the story.
