Max Bowden addresses EastEnders exit ahead of Ben Mitchell departure as his next role is announced

Max Bowden is leaving EastEnders as Ben Mitchell and he has finally spoken out about his departure. His latest role has also been revealed.

Max continued: “I really will never be able to thank everybody for the support enough, because the fans of the show are so passionate, caring, and invested and it enables us as actors to want to keep going and always be better; so I really do from the bottom of my heart appreciate every single person who has sent any sort of positivity my way over the last five years – I love you all.” As his co-stars including Jamie Borthwick(Jay Brown), Tony Clay (Callum Highway) and Jacqueline Jossa all congratulated him on his time on the soap, other fans reacted with anger over his departure. 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.”
