EASTENDERS star Ellie Dadd has made a shock exit from the soap today – but with a twist.
The actress has played Amy Mitchell in the soap since 2022.
Last week Amy escaped from groomer and abuser Craig by leaving him for dead.
And in today’s episode Amy was still struggling with thinking she had killed him.
Sean told Amy that he would take her to Ibiza as promised but that it might help her to be away from Walford, much to Jack’s fury.
But he eventually came around when Amy told him how she was struggling.
Instead of forcing her to stay in Walford, Jack called Bianca and Sonia and arranged for Amy to go to Norfolk to stay with them, revealing they had both returned to the UK after travelling the world since their exit last year.
The pair had an emotional goodbye as Jack promised to hunt down her abuser Craig to keep her safe.
Ellie is taking a short break from the show, but The Sun can confirm that she will return later this year.
It comes after the soap star sparked concern and so sexy they come with an 18 plus warning.
The new shoot sees Ellie – who plays 17-year-old Amy Mitchell on the BBC soap – dressed in a pleated skirt and a white shirt undone to reveal her lacy bra.
But not everyone can view the racy snaps, Instagram has slapped them with a warning that reads “people under 18 can’t see this content”.
Those who can see the images have plenty to say about them and Ellie has been accused of ‘sexualising schoolgirls’, while insiders have questioned her timing and what it could mean for her future on the show.
