EastEnders’ Dexter Hartman looks set to leave Albert Square to go and live with his mum Ava.
Ava Hartman (Claire Perkins) left the BBC soap last December after getting a new job in Newcastle and it was revealed last month that Khali Best who plays Dexter would be written out of the soap by the end of the year.
Now EastEnders has started dropping hints about why Dexter will go, as he starts thinking about going to stay with his mother in the New Year.

EastEnders confirmed last month that Khali Best would be leaving the show after two years.
