LAUREN Branning's exit from Walford has been confirmed in EastEnders.

Josh, youngest son of evil rapist James Willmott-Brown, quit his job and landed another one in Glasgow.

Unfortunately before Lauren could break the news to Ian, he caught her with Josh putting an indelible mark on the Beale family sofa.

And predictably he wasn't happy finding the son of his mother's rapist locking lips with his grandson's mother in front of a picture of Pauline Fowler.

"I didn't have to come back here Ian, I came back here to make you happy," she said, slapping him.

"But you're never happy are you? That's why you've lost everyone."

Then as Josh stood up to Ian and told him they were in love.

He added: "After everything Steven's done to her, and Peter, she's been through hell. You should be happy she's found someone, Kathy is."
