Davood was topless while opting for black shorts as he went to lift a huge amount of weight on the bar.

He captioned the image: "Monday is BENCH DAY! @crossfit.424 #CrossFit #committedtocrossfit #nospotrequired"

The hunky actor is set to leave the soap with his character Kush set to get an "explosive" send off.

The 38-year-old hunk joined the show in 2014 and has been a firm favourite among fans - and at the centre of some massive plots, including his younger brother Shakil's death.

The actor was axed after producers decided not to renew his contract in favour of a dramatic exit.

A source explained: "Davood’s contract was up and bosses decided his storyline had run its course."

They continued to : "He’ll be missed but they’re making sure he goes out with a bang. Sometimes the cost of having a big storyline means losing big characters."

A rep for EastEnders confirmed Davood's departure.

On Saturday, The Sun Online revealed that Amar Adatia, who plays Jags Panesar, is also set to leave Walford after turning on his scheming mum Suki - and losing miserably.

The star confirmed that he has filmed his final scenes after extending his original contract due to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic.

He said: "I always knew I’d only be in the show for a set period of time when I signed up.

"I had just finished shooting a film and had prior commitments to promote that but then the pandemic hit and everything understandably got put on hold.
