Vincent Hubbard will leave Albert Square in dramatic scenes to be aired in the coming weeks.
The serial chancer is set to take the ultimate gamble as he attempts to raise enough money to save his skin – and his wife Kim’s.
But will his desperate actions be the last he ever makes?
In scenes that aired on Tuesday night (10 April), Kim discovered that Vincent was in deep financial trouble – after finding an eviction notice in the flat.

And in forthcoming scenes, Vincent’s behaviour becomes ever-more desperate as he clambers to get hold of some cash.
Desperate to raise the funds so that he and Kim aren’t evicted from their home, Vincent secretly meets up with DI Franklin to give him information on the recent heist.
He names Aidan Maguire as the ringleader, while also implicating Phil Mitchell.
However, his actions backfire when DI Franklin pushes him for more and more info to bring the criminals down – and offers him a cash incentive which Vincent cannot refuse.

When the impatient copper eventually threatens to throw Vincent in jail, too, he’s pushed into a corner that he can’t get out of.
Will Phil find out that Vincent has grassed him up, and exact the ultimate revenge by sending him out of Albert Square in a body bag?
Or will Vincent end up rotting in jail?
One thing we do know is that he has one last bombshell to drop on Kim before he exits Albert Square for good…
See the action unfold on Friday 20 April at 8pm on BBC1.
