Poor Minty never gets it right.

In a bid to shift weight before his wedding, Minty decides to start jogging round Albert Square. But the sudden excercise is more than his shocked heart can take, and Minty ends up collapsing and being rushed to hospital.

A source on the soap told The Daily Star: “Poor Minty never has much luck and his attempts to exercise are no different. After going for a short run he helps Denise Wicks move some boxes in the post office.

“Suddenly he collapses with a suspected heart attack and an ambulance is called.

“But viewers will be pleased to know it turns out to be a false alarm and a relieved Minty is soon back to his old lazy self.” 

The insider joked: “Hopefully he will be doing us all a favour and hanging up his hideous sports kit for good.

“I’m sure seeing Minty run around looking like a reject from Fame will amuse most fans. But we don’t want to put
anyone off their dinner.”
