EastEnders actress Sophie Khan Levy, who plays Priya, exits the BBC soap after about three years on the show. Multiple outlets report that her departure is unannounced in the usual way and comes as Levy confirms she is pregnant in real life.
Reports describe the exit as a surprise for viewers, with the show’s social media activity prompting attention around the cast’s reaction. The outlets also highlight that the cast shares an emotional goodbye, as shown in posts referencing Levy’s final scenes and time on the programme. The coverage focuses on both the on-screen absence and the off-screen reason for leaving.
While the outlets agree on the basic facts—Levy’s role as Priya, the length of her tenure, the surprise nature of the exit, and the pregnancy confirmation—emphasis varies between describing the reaction from fans and detailing the emotional tone of cast farewells.
