“There is an accident at the house and after that, Jay just cannot cope anymore,” he revealed.

“He needs to get away from Walford because being around there is just causing nothing but carnage.”

Jay lost his wife Lola Pearce (Danielle Harold) in May following a heartbreaking battle with a brain tumour.

Could Jay’s accident be drug-related? If so, Ben will be keen to keep Lexi far away from Jay, but will she be able to convince him to give Jay another chance?

Before she died, Lola arranged for Jay to adopt Lexi because she couldn’t trust that Ben would be responsible.

However, with Jay ending up being the one struggling to cope, will the Mitchells keep him out of Lexi’s life for good?

EastEnders continues on Thursday at 7.30pm on BBC One.
