His off-screen exit came after his dad Cain Dingle (Jeff Hordley) and on-off love interest Tracy Robinson (Amy Walsh) wrongly believed he had kissed step-mother and former lover Moira Dingle (Natalie J Robb), when in fact she’d suffered a seizure. 

After a punch-up with Cain, Tracy told Nate her and daughter Frankie would no-longer be coming with him to start a new life and he departed solo, with Jurell explaining that everything the character had worked to achieve had ‘shattered apart’.

However now he's landing his next big role, and it sees him getting into the Christmas spirit.

Jurell revealed to fans what he's been working on since leaving the Dales, as he posted snippets to Instagram.

"That’s how I feel as an actor, in terms of leaving a show that I love.

"I would speak to some of my colleagues and say it’s a weird one, because it’s not like I hate my job, it’s not like I hate my surroundings or the people that I’m working with.

"I love everyone and I love the job."

He also revealed that he'd been asked about leaving earlier, but had pushed back to stay with the ITV soap and his on-screen character a bit longer.

He revealed: "My agent was itching for me to go probably a few years ago, but I said to him that it doesn’t feel like the right time, I’m in the right place and I’d know when the time is right. It never felt like the right time."
