EastEnders: Ben Mitchell To Be Killed Off?

Things never did run smoothly in EastEnders, especially for the Mitchell family who are set for some fresh heartache after burying beloved matriarch Peggy Mitchell last week.

Phil Mitchell’s son Ben is set to be left fighting for his life after getting involved in a horrifying accident.

The mechanic, played by Harry Reid, finally appears to have his happy ever after now that he’s shacked up with gorge boyfriend Paul Coker, but his world is set to come falling down around him.

It hasn’t been confirmed whether or not Ben will survive the accident but it is thought that it will definitely pave the exit for Paul, with actor Jonny Labey set to quit the soap in the coming weeks.

A source previously shared: “Jonny is leaving in a couple of months as part of an explosive storyline.

"Bosses are keeping tight lipped about what’s in store but there’s plenty of drama in store for Paul before he leaves.”

Here’s hoping Ben’s accident isn’t going to push alcoholic Phil over the edge…
