Antique dealer, Anthony Moon (Matt Lapinskas), is to leave EastEnders.

Anthony will depart from EastEnders after less than a year in Walford.

Confirming the exit, Matt commented: '''I'm having a fantastic time working on EastEnders and playing the role of Anthony Moon. Working with David Essex, Tony Discipline and the EastEnders cast has been an absolute pleasure.'''

Although I will really miss EastEnders and everyone involved, I am very excited about future projects and what is next for me as an actor.

Anthony turned up on the square in July 2011 after his brother, Tyler and his father, Eddie Moon.
