RACHEL Shenton has quit Hollyoaks to move onto "pastures new".
The 24-year-old will leave screens in February next year after a storyline involving a cameo from Eamonn Holmes.
In a statement Rachel said: “Mitzeee’s final week is not to be missed, especially when she finds herself chatting to the fabulous Mr Holmes.
“I’ve had an amazing two years playing Mitzeee.
"She’s been on an incredible journey that’s not over yet...

"It’s been an absolute privilege to work with the cast and crew that make Hollyoaks such a special place.
"This has been one of the hardest decisions I’ve made, but I feel it’s time for Mitzeee and myself to move onto pastures new.”
Her departure is marked by scenes with telly presenter Eamonn Holmes.
The presenter of This Morning and Sky News shot scenes in London with Rachel, whose character Mitzeee appears on his Sunrise programme.
