'EastEnders' fans are set to see troubled Sonia Fowler finally ditch her husband Martin.

Sonia, who is played by 22-year-old actress Natalie Cassidy, will split from her partner over the festive season.

Their relationship hit a rough patch when the young wife recently enjoyed a steamy lesbian kiss with friend Naomi Julien - who is played by actress Petra Letang.

Although she tried to deny her feelings, Sonia finally realises she no longer loves Martin and can't continue to live her life with him.

After she tells her shocked husband her decision, Sonia moves out of the home their share with Martin's mum Pauline.

An insider is quoted in Britain's Daily Star newspaper as saying: "There's a grim emotional time ahead for Sonia and Martin."
