Apparently he isn't getting killed off but he does get cancer.

EASTENDERS Nasty Nick Cotton is being killed off – finally!
Long-suffering mum Dot will rush to his side after he’s diagnosed with terminal cancer.
Dot, played by June Brown, will nurse Nick in the summer.
But actor John Altman is NOT coming back as the plot will unfold off screen. John was in the show from its launch in 1985 until 1993.
He returned for a few episodes in 1998 and a spin-off drama in 2000 and then returned to EE as a regular but left in 2001 after screen son Ashley was killed off.
Over the years Nick proved he was rotten to the core. He was a racist bully, heroin addict and pimp.
The thug stole from “Ma” and even tried to kill her.
An insider said: “People are always asking what is going to happen to Nick. Now we are putting an end to his evil. Dot is devastated and leaves Albert Square to care for Nick in his last days.”
The plot to kill Nick off has been devised to give June time to take a much-needed break.
His demise comes after another off-screen death when Kathy Beale, played by Gillian Taylforth, died in a car crash in South Africa.
