shortly after walking away from the show, Edd explained he didn’t wish to “cut corners” in his work.
He said: “The workshop jobs are certainly the hardest part of the show to make, and reducing their substance and role in the show will save the production considerable time, effort and therefore money.
“However this new direction is not something I am comfortable with as I feel the corners I was being asked to cut would compromise the quality of my work and would erode my integrity, as well as that of the show.”
The duo suggested there had been no disagreement or feud with Edd simply leaving to pursue his own projects.
