The actor has been at the centre of the some of the soap's juiciest storylines over the last two years, culminating in Nish's terminal illness.

Speaking about his impact on the soap, the source continued in The Sun : ⁘Navin has made quite the impact on the show in the two years he has been a part of it, especially as a key part of the huge Christmas storyline with The Six. He'll be missed by cast, crew and viewers alike.⁘ When contacted by the Mirror about the exit reports, the BBC declined to comment.

Details of Navin's departure are being kept under wraps, but his character is currently dying of a heart condition and needs a transplant.

However, while he may be dying, Nish doesn't intend to make last-minute amends with his close circle. The EastEnders villain has a limited time left to live after he contracted a virus which led him to be diagnosed with viral myocarditis and he urgently needs a heart transplant. But in scenes due to air next week on BBC One , Nish will spend some of his remaining moments doing what he does best - plot against his own family.

Navin spoke to the Mirror recently about claims Nish may be lying about his illness. The actor said: ⁘I think it's exciting. I think nobody ever expected with a character like this - you're constantly wondering who he's going to inflict more pain on.⁘
