BBC bosses have suspended EastEnders star Robert Kazinsky following yet another sex scandal. Robert, 23, who shot to fame as the show's womaniser Sean Slater, has been temporarily axed for bombarding a model with obscene text messages and photos. The incident echoes the controversy that saw Leslie Grantham written out of the BBC1 soap. Leslie had made his comeback as Dirty Den when it emerged that he took part in webcam sex sessions from his dressing room in Elstree Studios. To prevent disruption to the soap's forthcoming storylines, newcomer Robert will continue filming until February, when he will be out of the show for two months. The actor, an unknown before joining EastEnders, is said to be upset and apologetic over the incident and has said he is sorry for bringing the show into disrepute. An EastEnders spokesman said: "Following the story in the Sunday People on January 7 2007, EastEnders executive producer Diederick Santer has taken the decision to suspend Robert Kazinsky from early February for a period of two months. "In addition, Robert Kazinsky would like to apologise for any offence caused to EastEnders' viewers and for bringing the show into disrepute."
