A huge thank you to all the fans of the show EastEnders wouldn't be what it is without you and to the BBC and EastEnders team for trusting me with this role.
This fruit and veg man will always hold a special place in my heart. It's time to look forward, and I'm incredibly excited for what the future holds.
Another scene that broke me well done to all the amazing cast and crew you totally smashed it - but Lacey and James were the main stars tonight.
