EastEnders heart-throb Sean Slater is set to leave Albert Square, the show has confirmed.

Rob Kazinsky is quitting in a bid to further his career in Hollywood, where he is hoping to get signed up by Brad Pitt's agent.

Rob said in a statement if he had joined the Albert Square soap when he was a little older, he would've wanted to stay forever.

However, as an actor there are more things he wants to try.

Meanwhile, Mo George, who plays Gus is also saying farewell.

He will remain on the show until the end of 2008.
