Speaking to Tim Lovejoy on Channel 4's Brunch, Harry Reid revealed that the news about his character leaving Walford was a bit of a bombshell, one he "didn't see coming".
"I don't really think there would be any signs that point towards it, you can possibly get something out of the story, but in terms of [Ben's] mindset, it's quite a sudden thing.
"So, as an actor, I didn't see that build-up coming, but it's exciting me."
He also revealed how much he has enjoyed playing Ben, even when it creeps into your personal life: "you live this other person's life, it almost becomes your second life".
When asked if Ben was leaving in a coffin, Harry said: "I'm not gonna say anything, mainly because I want the fans to be excited and question what's going to happen.
"It is exciting," he added. "Ben's life is exciting and it won't let you down, I promise you that."

"It's been very hard," he continued. "I think there's an actor's emotion that comes into play here.
"Obviously, it being long-running, I've worked with these people for a long time and when you're doing final moments, it can become quite ceremonial."
Harry will leave the soap towards the end of this year. EastEnders airs weeknights on BBC One
