Richard Blackwood is leaving EastEnders after three years playing Vincent Hubbard, it has been confirmed.
The actor, who has played the character since February 2015, will be departing Albert Square in the spring.
A spokesperson for EastEnders said in a statement: "We can confirm that Richard will be leaving EastEnders this spring.
"Richard has been a great addition to the show and we wish him all the best for the future."
Blackwood said: "I have loved every minute of my time at EastEnders, and although I will be sad to say goodbye, after three years it feels the right time to leave.
"I have been truly blessed with some great storylines since the moment I joined, but when I was presented with my last story, I knew it was time for Vincent to depart Walford.
"I'm now excited about what the future holds. I have a feature film out this year, I will be returning to theatre and also some great presenting TV gigs."
Blackwood's final EastEnders scenes will air this spring.
