He told The Sun: “I’d take it off the telly if I could. I just think it’s run its course. It’s nothing to do with any of the acting as I think people do really good work in it.

“I just feel it is time for something different. EastEnders and Coronation Street seem a bit like the opium of the masses now. Why don’t they try something else for the British public?”
