EastEnders airs Ben Mitchell’s exit and fans declare: ‘I’ll never recover’

EastEnders has aired the final scenes of Ben Mitchell after Max Bowden's departure from the soap and fans are heartbroken.

It was pretty spot on because back at home Phil had got him and Lexi fake passports and was packing their things so they could flee the country once Ben was granted bail! Speaking on the show’s official social media account, Max said: “I’m so excited to be collaborating with Original Theatre again on a project close to my heart. Birdsong highlights the tragedy of war, yet the beauty of humanity simultaneously through strong relationships under extreme circumstances, and I can’t wait to bring Jack Firebrace to life under their guidance.”
