'EastEnders' star Melissa Suffield is allegedly set to be axed from the soap because of "unruly behaviour", a report claims.
According to the Daily Star, the 17-year-old actress, who plays Lucy Beale in the soap, was recently issued with a final warning from producers after attending a London nightclub while underage.
A source told the newspaper: "Melissa has been hauled before bosses on a number of occasions for her behaviour and attitude outside work. In the end they made the decision to let her go."
"The way she's been behaving out of work over the last few months is not acceptable."
"Melissa is 17 and wants to go out, have fun and do what she likes. But that kind of behaviour doesn't work when you're on a show like 'EastEnders'."
"She was given a warning a couple of months back after she was photographed going into a London club. So when things didn't improve they had no choice but to write her out of the show."
An 'EastEnders' spokesperson reportedly said: "Melissa will be leaving in the summer. She's had a fantastic six years on the show and we wish her the best of luck."
