BREAKING NEWS!!! EastEnders star breaks silence on exit after 3 years as he addresses future

EastEnders’ Bobby Brazier has revealed grand ambitions for the future ahead of his exit after 3 years.

The actor and Strictly Come Dancing 2023 runner-up, 22, will depart his Freddie Slater role later in the year.

An EastEnders spokesperson confirmed:  ‘We can confirm that Bobby Brazier will be leaving EastEnders, and we wish him all the best for the future.’

Some of his biggest storylines have included beating Theo Hawthorne (William Ellis) unconscious with an iron and punching him multiple times, being diagnosed with ADHD diagnosis, and more recently an affair.

His head was turned by Anna Knight (Molly Rainford) – despite the fact she was in a relationship with his best mate Bobby Beale (Clay Milner Russell).

Speaking of his forthcoming departure, Bobby said that it could be an uncertain time ahead.

‘I don’t know, I guess that’s how it really goes and how it works in this industry,’ he explained.

‘You never really know what’s next until you go for it.’

He continued to OK! Magazine: ‘But yeah, I’d like to play a variety of different roles so I can work out what I like, what I’m good at and what I need to work on.’

Last year he starred in Curfew, a drama set in a society where men are restricted by a curfew to protect women’s safety.

Bobby starred alongside Alexandra Burke, who found fame on The X Factor and is now a musical theatre actress.

‘I found Alexandra Burke really inspiring,’ he continued to the publication.

‘We did a lot of scenes together as she played our teacher.

‘I would love to do what she has done and go into the West End. I would love to be talented enough to get up on stage and sing and dance every night.

‘But I know how much hard work goes into that.’

Just how he exits remains to be seen, but there are multiple high dramas ahead for the Slater clan.

A troubled Zoe Slater (Michelle Ryan) is set to make a grand return to Albert Square later in the summer – having fled to Barcelona after her brief comeback last month.
