Emmerdale star Emile John has shared a new farewell message following his departure from Ethan Anderson this week.

The character was killed off in tragic scenes which aired on Tuesday night (May 28), with Ethan collapsing as he prepared for his sentencing hearing following Nicky Miligan’s recent car crash.
