EastEnders' Maggie O'Neill to leave the show?

Actress's contract may not be renewed after rows on set

Maggie O'Neill plays Bianca and Bradley's aunt in EastEnders

EastEnders star Maggie O’Neill could be leaving the soap after just a few months.

The ex-Shameless star joined the cast in May as Jim Branning's daughter Suzy. But apparently she's not been popular with fellow cast members.

Maggie, 40, has allegedly had bust-ups with Samantha Janus (who plays Ronnie Mitchell) and Rob Kazinsky (Sean Slater).

‘EastEnders is normally a quiet, calm set,’ a source tells the News Of The World. ‘But that has certainly changed recently and the finger has been pointed at Maggie.

‘An extension to her deal looks unlikely.’

Her 6-month contract runs until November.
