The notorious character first appeared on the show in 2022 and Anthony secured a recurring role on the show until 2024.
Before making his debut on the cobbles, Anthony hosted Sunday morning show T4 from 2005 until 2005.
Adding to his soap opera fame, Anthony also appeared on Hollyoaks as a character called Kenneth back in 2023.

In Coronation Street, Dean famously left Abi Webster for dead when she tricked him into admitting he stole a sports car from the garage.
She was forced to use it as a battering ram to escape a smoke-filled garage.
That came just days after he abandoned her when she went into surprise early labour with her baby.

Coronation Street star unexpectedly axed in shock exit as character 'killed off' without warning
A Coronation Street cast member announced their exit from the ITV soap and fans are convinced their character was killed off. A Coronation Street star has announced their departure from the ITV soap and it's already been broadcast. In a shocking turn of events, their character may have met their demise, after the actor's goodbye message left viewers convinced they were "brown bread". Logan Radcliffe returned to the ITV drama this week, receiving a visit from Carla Connor whilst behind bars. She was frantic for answers about what had happened to Becky Swain, the late wife of her girlfriend Lisa Swain. Lisa had been finding it difficult to progress and move forward, uncertain whether Becky was in danger prior to her death and why she died, whether by accident or otherwise, with Carla wanting to help, the Mirror reports. She went to see Logan who demanded £10,000 for any information he might have about Becky. He then accidentally revealed a name, Tia Wardley, though no context was provided. Regardless of who she is, it was enough to get Logan into hot water with a fellow inmate over a "mutual friend" he'd angered. He was told he had revealed too much, and with that his cell door was shut - making it obvious to viewers he was in serious danger. As the episode came to an end, actor Harry Lowbridge, who portrays Logan, went on Instagram to announce his departure from the programme - confirming his final scenes had now been shown. With that, fans are certain Logan is now dead. They suspect that whoever Tia was, genuine or not, he'd disclosed too much and an unknown individual had the cellmate punish him for running his mouth. Fans reckon it will be disclosed that Logan has been killed, murdered in his cell. The actor confirmed no additional scenes were planned when he shared on Instagram: "Farewell Logan. It's been a blast x." Following the post and the broadcast scenes, viewers took to social media to share their theories that the soap had just killed off a character without any prior warning. One viewer said: "So Logan is brown bread then?" Another viewer agreed, writing: "RIP Logan," as a third viewer stated; "So Logan gets killed off in prison then!" A further comment read; "Harry posting a goodbye? Has Logan been killed in prison?" The reactions continued pouring in with one fan penning: "Okay so when Logan is killed in prison then what?!" Whether Logan has died or remains alive is still to be disclosed despite the speculation, with viewers questioning if he might make a comeback at some stage and whether we'll discover who was behind the assault. Then there's the matter that Tia might or might not be connected to the plot. Why are individuals so frantic to keep the truth hidden as well? Everything will have to be revealed at some point.

Wynne Evans splits from fiancee Liz for second time and is ‘already dating again'
WYNNE Evans has split from his fiance - just months after popping the question. The singer, 53, and Liz Brookes are said to have called it quits a few weeks ago and he appeared to confirm the break up speaking to fans today. 4 4 The pair previously split in January of this year but reunited just weeks later. This morning, the Strictly star told his followers on Facebook Live: 'I haven't felt this level headed for years, having been in a bad place or a relationship that is not healthy for me. It's now calm.' An insider told the MailOnline: ' Wynne and Liz broke off their engagement a few weeks ago. 'The pressure of his new business ventures took its toll and they had a big fallout. 'Initially, there was a belief they would get back together when the ill-feeling died down, as they had split before and managed to patch things up. 'But with Wynne actively trying to date again and going public describing the relationship as 'not healthy', it's safe to say they've split from good this time.' Wynne started his own radio show following his BBC on the Strictly Live Tour launch event. He was dropped from the tour and his BBC Wales radio show was canned. He is also opening his own restaurant and winebar - 'Welsh House by Wynne' in Carmarthen, West Wales. Wynne popped the question to Liz on holiday in Morocco in June of this year, after she loyally stood by him amid his BBC fallout. Joy for Wynne Evans as he gets engaged after months of hell following Strictly drama He told fans at the time: "Big news… I got engaged! "This weekend in Morocco, somewhere between the couscous, the camels, and me limping around the souks like a man with no spatial awareness, I proposed to Liz — and she said yes! (No take-backs, I've checked.) "She's clever, she's kind, she's got excellent taste in men. Absolutely no idea how I pulled that off, but here we are! "Feeling very lucky, very happy, and just a tiny bit smug." Liz, 50, who runs her own successful events company in Cardiff, met the star at one of her do's in Wales. He asked her out for a coffee the next day, and they were together for 18 months before he proposed. 4 4 Wynne Evans' Strictly scandals 'Grope' Wynne encountered a backlash after his Strictly pro partner Katya was filmed removing his hand from her waist. Fans insisted she looked uncomfortable as she moved it away – but Katya later insisted there was no problem. In joke They then sparked further fury, when she was seen refusing to high-five the Opera singer. The duo were quick to issue a video apology and insisted it was all an innocent "inside joke". Crude joke Wynne came under fire for allegedly telling a "crude" joke to one of the show's make-up artists. Insiders claim the opera star made a joke that the folds of his double chin "looked like a vagina". A source said: 'It was a bit of a vulgar dad joke.' Wynne was recorded suggesting a three-way sex session with presenter Janette Manrara, using the term "spit roast". His remark came at a photocall to launch the Strictly live tour, which pro Janette, 41, is hosting. He reportedly pulled a suggestive face at actor Jamie Borthwick as Janette moved between them — which is when Evans allegedly made the joke. Wynne has apologised saying: "My language was inappropriate and unacceptable, for which I sincerely apologise."
