Emmerdale has responded to media reports Aaron Anthony has quit following an alleged race row involving other cast members.
It comes after previous claims of an unidentified actress being upset about an inappropriate comment made during filming.
According to reports, Aaron has since quit after being annoyed about the alleged behaviour of two Emmerdale colleagues.

A source told The Sun: “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.
“He has done some filming over the last couple of weeks, but the understanding is that those scenes will be his last.”
