HOLLYOAKS hunk Chris Fountain is quitting the Channel 4 teen soap.
The actor, who plays Justin Burton, will leave in a dramatic fire plot airing in May, along with Jamie Lomas’ character Warren Fox.
Warren’s club The Loft will be set alight by one of his enemies – and the two characters get stuck in the building.
Dancing On Ice winner Chris said: "I'll be sad to leave as I've had some great times and gained a lot of good friends at work but I personally feel that it's the right time for me - and Justin - to move on."
Jamie, whose son with Corrie actress Kym Marsh tragically died after being born prematurely earlier this year, added: "I've had a fantastic three years at Hollyoaks but having fully explored the character, I felt the time was right for me to move on. I'm delighted to be going out as part of such a dramatic.”
The pair's final scenes will air at the end of May.
