Clements quit EastEnders in 2009 commenting that it was "time to move on and take on some new roles". Although the character died during the EastEnders live 25th anniversary episode on 19th February 2010, Clements is credited at the end of the episode on 22 February 2010. The police wanted to question Bradley regarding the death of Archie Mitchell and was attempting to escape when he was spotted by them. The chase led to the rooftop of the Queen Victoria public house and he died after falling to his death. It was later revealed that Clements left the soap because he disliked the attention he got from being in such a high-profile television series.[2]
