EastEnders character Ben Mitchell is to be left fighting for his life after being hospitalised following a horrific accident.
Actor Harry Reid will be seen performing in scenes in which his soap alter ego is left with nasty injuries.
Ben’s father Phil Mitchell and his half-brother Ian Beale will be the first to hear the terrible news.
They will rush to hospital to be by his side but face a long wait to see if he survives, according to the Daily Mirror.
Show fans have been left wondering if this also means the departure of Ben’s boyfriend Paul Cocker will also leave Walford.
Jonny Labey, who plays the character, recently confirmed he would be leaving the soap.
“We can confirm Johnny will be leaving the show later this year. We wish him all the best for the future,” a spokesperson confirmed to the Mirror Online.
An insider added: “Johnny is leaving in a couple of months as part of an explosive storyline.
“Bosses are keeping tight lipped about what’s in store but there’s plenty of drama in store for Paul before he leaves.”
