Russell Tovey: “I’ve Left Being Human”

Actor confirms what we’ve been suspecting for a while

It’s becoming a weekend for werewolf news. Blame it on the fill moon. Now Russell Tovey has let the cat – or maybe dog – out of the bag: he’s left Being Human.

It confirms something we’ve been that’s looked on the cards for a while, as Tovey’s told The Guardian: “Well, I’ve actually left Being Human but no-one [outside of the show] knows yet.”

Explaining his decision he says: “Aidan’s left to film The Hobbit in New Zealand [with Peter Jackson] and going on without him on this fourth series felt strange.”

But he has no worries for the series’ future: “No, with Being Human the story can definitely go on and on,” Tovey insists. “Toby [Whithouse, the writer] still runs it and they can do all sorts … add giants and robots!”
