Hollyoaks actor Adam Woodward announced he was opting out of the soap world to pursue a career away from the spotlight.
The 31-year-old star rose to fame following his portrayal of Brody Hudson in the Channel 4 show for four years before calling it quits.
He also enjoyed time on the set of Emmerdale where he played two small roles at the same time as his Hollyoaks stint.
Despite seeing success on the telly, Adam revealed he was stepping away to follow a completely different career path.
He walked away from the soap opera to become a manual therapist, specifically focusing on the Kasser Method osteopathy technique.
In an effort to promote his new venture, the star has changed his moniker on Instagram and is now going by the name of Eliteosteo.

Adam has also started a dedicated page on the app to support his business and attract new clientele.
He explained his next move in a chatting reel clip that he shared on the page that carries his business name.
The star penned a caption to go with the footage that read: ‘I trained with @eliteosteo over a year ago using his @kassermethod after he was the only person to help my lower back.
‘I’ve helped so many friends and family with injuries and issues, I feel very grateful to be invited to head up his northern clinic.
‘Not only is he a friend but now a business partner, helping people recover and getting the craziest of results. Clinic opening for bookings in the next 2 weeks stay tuned! [sic].’
The actor-turned-osteopath began his run on Hollyoaks in 2017 and caused quite a stir until his exit in 2021.
He filmed his opening scenes in Ibiza which were said to be taking inspiration from Daniel Craig’s first scenes as James Bond in Casino Royale.
