Their departure comes following a heartbreaking storyline, which has seen the death of their grandson Paul, who was played by Jonny Labey.

There’s no word yet on exactly when they’ll be leaving Albert Square for good but an insider has addressed their exit, telling the Mirror: “Pam and Les have been a big part of the show over the past few months and with their current storyline, bosses felt that it was the right time for their characters to leave the Square.
