Emmerdale’s Adam Thomas says he didn’t get enough air time on ITV soap and that the best thing about being on show was ‘leaving’

The actor didn't hold back on Twitter tonight as he replied to fans' messages

ADAM Thomas has claimed he didn't get enough air time on Emmerdale.

The 29-year-old actor quit the ITV soap as Adam Barton earlier this year after eight years in the role.

Viewers recently saw Adam take the blame for Emma Barton's murder, despite his mum Moira Dingle being the real killer.

But taking to Twitter tonight, Adam seemed to have mixed things to say about his former work place when a fan tweeted: "Can I just say how gutted I am that even in your last week, Emmerdale aren't giving you the air time you deserve. You are an extremely talented actor and I wish you all the best for the future."

The actor - who is known to be quite the joker - replied: "I'm used to it [crying with laughter emojis] but thanks anyway.... just to be part of that show is good enough for me."

While the cheeky chappy may have been joking about not having enough air time, he later tweeted another message that seemed to be a bit of a dig at the soap.

Another fan tweeted: "Gutted you have left Emmerdale! Going to miss you! And miss your scenes with @DannyBMiller :( what has been your favourite thing about Emmerdale?"

Adam simply replied: "Leaving".

This didn't seem to be the case a few days ago though, when Adam used Twitter to beg for his character's return.

He wrote: "Dear @emmerdale I know it's only been a few weeks but am ready to come bk now even if I am a ghost... it's been done before."

Adam’s brother Scott posted the clip online and fans watched as Adam held an enormous balloon above his head.

Grinning, pregnant Caroline then popped it with a pin and couldn’t hide her delight when it revealed bright pink ticker tape.

 They had no idea what was inside the balloon and both giggled as they went to pop it
