We recently reported that Jack Ryder (better known as Jamie Mitchell from Eastenders), had landed a role in ITV’s new daytime drama, The Royal Today.

The Sun newspaper has reported today that Jack has quit his new role before his first episode has even aired.

Ryder reportedly made the decision because he felt “too young” in his new role and “out of depth” during rehearsals.

He told The Sun: “It’s been a difficult decision but it is the right one for me and the series.”
