New EastEnders spoilers give away Ben’s final storyline and he is in a very serious situation

Ben Mitchell (Max Bowden) will find himself in hot water in EastEnders later this month as part of a new story that will serve as his exit.

It was confirmed earlier this year that Ben would be written out, with series star Max Bowden having already filmed his final scenes, set to depart after five years in Walford.

Fans have been speculating how exactly the popular character will leave the Square, and newly-released short spoilers for w/c Monday March 25, available to view on the BBC One website, have offered up a taste of what’s to come.

And it’s not looking good for Ben!

Ben’s time is running out

According to the spoilers, the young mechanic attempts to fix one issue but soon finds himself in trouble as another arises, with subsequent scenes seeing him in very ‘hot water’.

But just what does this mean?

Fans will have to wait until more detailed spoilers become available next week but it’s looking like a brush with the law might be on the cards.

The episodic description for Thursday of the week in question confirms that Ben’s husband Callum Highway (Tony Clay), who is a detective, will use his job to his advantage.

Following reports of Max’s departure in December, an EastEnders spokesperson confirmed the exit to Metro.co.uk, as they said: ‘Max will be leaving EastEnders next year. We wish him all the best for the future.’

Ben was recently seen offering advice to Johnny Carter (Charlie Suff), promising to help him get rid of Dean Wicks (Matt Di Angelo) should the opportunity to do so arise.

Callum, who knew Johnny previously due to his association with the Carter family, also vowed to help, albeit by using legal methods.
