Hollyoaks producers have confirmed Ash Roy's imminent departure from the teen soap. As reported by Digital Spy last month, Ash - played by 27-year-old Junade Khan - bows out of the Channel 4 show next month when his also-departing screen parents Bel (Nila Aalia) and Gov (Anthony Bunsee) disown him for good.

Feeling dejected, Ash reveals a "shocking family secret" to one of his sisters (more)...

As Ravi (Stephen Uppal) continues to experience dizzy spells as a result of his aneurysm, Ash (Junade Khan) is completely unaware of his brother's ailing health and continues to push him into an illegal street fight. However, when the original opponent pulls out, Ravi's forced to do battle with Calvin (Ricky Whittle). Speaking exclusively to Digital Spy, Uppal explained: "At first it's just a random opponent but at the last minute, the arranged person can't make the fight for some reason.

Nicole Barber-Lane (Myra McQueen), Loui Batley (Sarah Barnes), John Pickard (Dom Reilly) and Junade Khan (Ash Roy) all agreed to take part in the 26-mile trek across London on April 26.

I didn't realise that you had to walk a mile before you got to the start line. So I started completely on my own last year and it took my 7 hours, 58 minutes and 58 seconds. "I said I'd never do it again, but I'm a glutton for punishment," she continued. "I was that slow last year that (more)...
