Fans will remember he had an intimate encounter with Anita Roy – played by Saira Choudhry – on the show, after she took MDMA, with her family accusing him of spiking her.

Describing his character at the Inside Soap Awards, he said at the time: “He’s a ladies’ man… and he’s a bit of a mess but everyone loves him.

“He’s this charismatic party animal… He’s one those characters that you kind of get the feeling he’s got too much good luck.

“Some day down the road, he’s going to get kicked in the arse for something. But you never really know… he’s unpredictable.

“He’s got a lot of things he needs to do, so hopefully there’s going to be a lot of fun with this guy….”

His character was eventually axed in August 2010 – marking the end of his soap acting.

Elliot’s later roles would largely be film based, though his last big small screen appearance was a role in ITV drama series Vera back in 2015.
