EastEnders has revealed details of Bex Fowler's exit storyline, as she makes plans to leave Walford next week.

It was announced back in January that actor Jasmine Armfield is bowing out of her role as Bex after six years and has already filmed her final scenes with the BBC soap.

After a difficult few months on the Square, Bex will start to reevaluate her future in light of the boat tragedy – and decides to go travelling.

Following some encouragement from a supportive Kat, Bex breaks the news to Martin and Sonia, who are less than pleased.

Ignoring her parents' concerns, Bex perseveres with her plans to go abroad, but is left frustrated when her passport suddenly goes missing.

Realising what has happened, Bex confronts her mum about hiding her passport but Sonia is adamant the teenager is making the wrong decision.

Unfortunately, Martin also fails to make Sonia see sense over Bex's future plans, while her uncles Max and Jack also scold her for her stubbornness when it comes to her daughter.

With Sonia refusing to listen to anyone, Bex resorts to drastic measures and writes her mum a letter. Will this prompt Sonia to finally start listening?

EastEnders airs these scenes next week on BBC One.
