After almost a decade, EastEnders actress Samantha Womackhas decided to leave the square.

She joined Albert Square as Ronnie Mitchell back in 2007 – and has been at the heart of dramatic and harrowing story lines ever since.

From being involved in two murders, admitting that she was raped by her father and the tragic cot-death of her son, James – there hasn't been a quiet moment for the actress.

"We can confirm that Samantha Womack will be leaving EastEnders," says an EastEnders spokesperson.

"Samantha has created an iconic character in Ronnie Mitchell, having superbly played out many of EastEnders biggest moments. However Samantha was recently offered a big storyline which she happily accepted that leads to Ronnie departing Walford.

"We wish Samantha all the best for the future."

Ronnie will remain in Walford until next year when her dramatic exit will come at the climax of an explosive storyline.

An EastEnders insider revealed that "it was felt that with everything Ronnie has been through over the past 9 years it is now time to rest the character.

"Sam already has a few projects lined up so she won't be off screen for long!"

The actress reportedly jumped at the chance to leave in a dramatic showdown.
