They’re going to be taking some time from Albert Square.
EastEnders’ actor Jake Wood – who plays Max Branning – is set to take some time away from the long-running soap next year.
And it looks like his exit may be very soon.
The actor is set to take his popular boxing podcast, Pound For Pound, on a live tour that kicks off on January 19.
The tour will run until the end of February.
He shared a full listing of tour dates on Twitter, where he said he was “buzzing” and that he “can’t wait to get out on the road” with the tour.

A spokesperson for the soap told DigitalSpy that he would he taking a small break from the soap next year.
However, they didn’t specify what this actually means for his character.
Max is currently caught up in a bit of a tricky situation after he tied the knot with Rainie Cross.
It was originally meant to be a sham marriage to get custody of baby Abi, but has recently become more serious.
But after Max found out that Rainie had a one-night-stand with his brother, Jack…well, it looks like there’s going to be plenty of drama ahead.
- EastEnders will continue Thursday night on BBC One.
