At just 22 years old, actor Charlie Winter already has a year-long stint on one of Britain's best-loved soaps under his belt. However, a BBC rep has this week confirmed that his time on EastEnders is coming to an end following Hunter's murder of bigamist step-dad Ray Kelly.

A source told the Daily Star Sunday: 'It's been decided that it's the end of the road for Hunter. Producers don't feel there is anywhere else for the character to go.'

It's not yet been revealed how exactly Hunter will be leaving Walford, but it seems sure that it will have something to do with the murder - which is set to cause problems for both Hunter and his mum Mel Owen over the coming weeks as they try to cover up what happened.

Fans of Charlie Winter shouldn't be too glum, however, as the actor has revealed he has another string to his bow, having just released his second freestyle rap video. The track, titled Overdue has been uploaded to the star's Youtube channel, under his artist name, Chaz.

The black-and-white video to the track seems to have been filmed in Regent's Park, London, and features the EastEnders star rapping about ex-girlfriends and his friends. The video has already racked up over 18,000 views - but the reception has been mixed to say the least...
