Famous for his roles as Gary Preston in the BBC sitcom ‘Miranda’ and Lucifer Morningstar in the American series Lucifer, the Welsh actor termed the microblogging and social networking platform “a place where people like to shout horrible things.”

“Twitter seems more and more a place where people like to shout horrible things at you and encourage others to do so if they don’t agree with your opinion. I think I’m gonna take a little hiatus. Lots of love txx😈,” he said in a tweet.
