Danny Dyer who plays Mick Carter on BBC’s Eastenders will be leaving the soap for good after almost a decade.

Eastenders icon Danny Dyer will be leaving BBC’s Albert Square on Christmas Day in an ‘explosive exit.’ After almost a decade playing Queen Vic landlord Mick Carter on EastEnders, the 45-year-old will pack his bags and leave the soap for good.

Earlier this year the BBC confirmed that Dyer would be leaving when his contract was up this year but had not confirmed a date. The actor joined the cast of the BBC One soap on Christmas Day in 2013, shortly followed by his on-screen wife Linda Carter played by Kellie Bright, and has described his exit as a ‘full circle moment.’
