The two leads have become close friends during Tom's time on the show, with the star recently revealing a funny story about how Robson panicked after drinking five coffees.
Speaking about his decision to leave the show, Tom said: "I’ve spent five or six years – and the happiest years of my career so far – doing Grantchester and playing a character which just has so much depth and complexity. It was just a happy place.

Will had such a passionate and fiery start, and I think you saw him go through everything and come to a reasonably happy ending, as sad as it was to leave. But I think he left in peace, and that felt like a good place to end it."
Robson Green’s Weekend Escapes airs weekdays at 6:30 pm on BBC Two, and is available on iPlayer.
