EastEnders' Darren Miller will make his departure from Walford after cheating on fiancée Jodie Gold, a report has claimed.

The car salesman, played by Charlie G Hawkins, has a one-night stand with tearaway Lauren Branning (Jacqueline Jossa) after getting drunk on his stag night, according to The Sun.

It is thought that Darren is later left guilt-ridden over what he has done, prompting him to come clean with Jodie and call off their wedding before departing Albert Square.

"Darren makes a terrible mistake and can't keep it from Jodie," an EastEnders source told the newspaper. "He doesn't mean to break her heart, but he does.

"With no Jodie and no prospects, what has he got to hang around Walford for? He decides on a clean break."

The insider added: "This way, the door remains open for him to return."

Hawkins announced his decision to leave EastEnders in April. He has been part of the soap's cast since 2004.

Meanwhile, Jodie - played by Kylie Babbington - has been tipped to remain in the Square as she has "reasons to stay" following the departures of Darren and her mum Vanessa (Zöe Lucker).

Darren's EastEnders exit is expected to air in the autumn.
