  Leslie Grantham - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Leslie Grantham (born April 30, 1947) is a British Actor.
Grantham was born in Camberwell, London and enlisted in the British Army in 1965, at the age of 18.
Grantham's departure from the soap was reportedly the result of adverse newspaper publicity generated by the actor's Internet sex scandal months earlier for which he had initially received a suspension from the programme, although he has stated that he did not want to renew his contract.

 Leslie Grantham, Dirty Den, Eastenders,
If it were any other actor in Eastenders apart from Leslie (with possible exception of Shane and Jessie, how ironic), you get the feeling they would have been straight out the door with their P45 in hand, after the revelations of Internet sex on BBC premises, as well as allegedly slating other co-stars.
Leslie is said to have transmitted-the material while in his EastEnders dressing room at the BBC's Elstree studios in Hertfordshire.
Leslie has already called an Eastenders cast meeting, telling Shane and Jessie 'you are a pleasure to work with' and said that the woman on the other end of the webcam made up the comments.

Eastender Leslie Grantham’s lived up to his character’s ‘Dirty Den’ nickname with a foray into cybersex that’s hard to take seriously.
(It appears from the coverage – though it’s not explicit – that Grantham’s partner, Amanda the ‘Halo Polisher’, is paid for her services.) ‘Most of the conversations are too explicit to reveal in a family newspaper’ claims the People prudishly, before treating us to the mental image of him returning to set ‘still aroused’.
It seems the papers are going through the motions with comparisons to Becks, a dutiful wife under scrutiny and close ups of strained boxer shorts on a film set threatened by strike.
