His highly anticipated wedding to Steph Dean, played by Carley Stenson, gets off to a rocky start as he is rush to emergency with chest pains caused by his heart condition.

Max (Matt Littler) eventually makes it down the aisle after getting the all-clear from doctors in emotional scenes set to air later this month.

Tragedy: Ob, Steph and Tom rush to 's side

But the worst is still to come as Max later jumps in front of a speeding car to save his brother Tom, with friends and family gathering around his motionless body.

It marks a dramatic exit for the 26-year-old actor, who has been with the show since who’s been with Hollyoaks since he was in his early teens.

He plans to continue acting, and also hopes to direct.

He has said: 'I trained as an actor and it’s been my love from a very young age so I’d never leave it behind.'

'So people will still be seeing my ugly mug somewhere else, and the people I work with haven’t seen the back of me either.'
