Despite being upset he lost his character, he did praise the writers for his time for the show.
He went on: “I’m very lucky that the script for that final episode for my character was a chance to maybe answer a few questions about who he is.
“He confesses perhaps quite a lot he’s never confessed before.
“He almost goes through a big bit of therapy I suppose, as well as getting his comeuppance.”
