He joined the soap in 2019 as a mysterious farmhand who seduced Moira Dingle into a passionate affair behind her husband Cain Dingle’s back.

It was later revealed that Nate was secretly Cain’s love child from an old relationship and he wanted revenge on his dad for abandoning him.

But when it emerged Cain had no idea he existed, an uneasy truce developed with the pair only recently becoming a solid father and son duo. 

However Jurell’s exit will put an end to that and leave Cain another kid down after daughter Debbie’s (actress Charley Webb) exit.

A source said: “Nate has been at the centre of some huge storylines and his exit will be no different.

“It will be dramatic and explosive and will go down in Emmerdale history. It won’t be one to miss.”

They added: “Jurell has loved being on the soap but he’s a young actor and it’s understandable he wants to spread his wings.

“He’s got a lot of talent - not to mention the looks - to become a big star and leaving the soap is the only way he can do that.

“Five years is a good run but he feels it’s time.”

An Emmerdale spokeswoman declined to comment.

“For a long time Emmerdale has had a young and sexy cast to compliment its older, more accomplished actors but that’s come to an end.

“The days of romping in the vestry, or passionate encounters among the hay bales may be at an end.

"It’ll be tea and coco from now on.”
