EastEnders star Kara Tointon has revealed that she cried real tears when she filmed her exit scenes.
The actress is bowing out from her role as Dawn Swann on the BBC One soap after producers decided not to renew her contract earlier this year.
Discussing her last day on set, Tointon told the Daily Star Sunday: "I did not want to leave but it's a case of moving on. They are real tears though and I won't spoil the ending but it will shock fans."
The 25-year-old has previously admitted that she felt "heartbroken" over the decision to write out her character - and later claimed that Dawn deserves a happy ending.
Tointon has been tipped for appearances on ITV1's I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here! and BBC One's Strictly Come Dancing in recent months.

Shock fans? I don't think so.
