Danny Miller broke down in tears as he bid farewell to Emmerdale.
The 30-year-old star is currently competing in this season of I'm A Celebrity and confirmed last month he was quitting the soap to pursue new career opportunities.
The actor's 13-year stint as Aaron Dingle came to an end in last night's show as he drove away from the Yorkshire Dales after struggling to cope with the death of his partner, Ben Tucker.

Danny was visibly upset in a video filmed after his last scenes which was shared on his Instagram account following yesterday's episode.
The caption said: "As you may be aware Danny has made some life changing decisions this year. But the biggest decision he made came in the decision to leave Emmerdale.
The post continued: "Over the past 13 years Emmerdale has been like a second home to Danny.
"Having grown up with Aaron we have all cried, laughed, felt his heartbreak and sadness as Danny has portrayed some of the shows toughest storylines and I hope you agree he has done them justice."
It continued: "Cast and crew have become like a second family to Danny and as the video says he can’t thank them enough, but most importantly he would like to thank Aaron fans for sharing the journey with Danny and Aaron for all these years. And here’s hoping we see Danny back on our screens soon after the show doing what he loves most.
"Goodbye for now Aaron Dingle."
