What he actually ran off with though was a suitcase full of Walford Gazettes.

Handy.

Luckily Ben held back an envelope of money and decided to start a new life in Europe anyway.

Now Harry Reid has spoken out about the possibility of Ben popping up again in the future.

Speaking to the Daily Star he said: “Ben loves his dad and will always speak to him if he beckons, and he has beckoned, so I imagine they will speak.

“I think that ultimately they’ll sort it out between them and will hopefully have a very nice Christmas 2018.”

He then added: “I think I have given away too much.”

DOES THIS MEAN BEN WILL BE BACK BY CHRISTMAS?

We really hope so.

Fans were left reeling when it was announced last year that Harry had been written out of the BBC One soap.

Petitions were even started to keep Harry in his role.

Harry has spoken out about his departure previously, saying that he didn’t see it coming.

He recently hit back at claims that Ben’s exit from the soap was underwhelming.

Speaking to Digital Spy at last week’s NTA’s he said: “I think Ben’s exit was really good.

EastEnders continues tomorrow at 7.30pm on BBC One
