Speaking on EastEnders’ Secrets from the Square he said: “On a personal level, I’m really looking forward to getting back around my friends and colleagues.

“And also being able to see where the storylines go from here, how the people of Walford live in the new world, and how the storylines pick up from where we left off.

“It’s all a very intriguing time, almost to reset what Walford is and how the characters interact and relate.”

He added to Stacey Dooley: “I get to sit in my dressing room opposite James’s dressing room, with our doors open – more than two metres apart of course.

“And just have a chat, so getting back to some kind of normal and extracurricular interactions will be great.”

“I’m looking forward to seeing the people that I work with, and I’m kind of intrigued – at the moment I have no idea what lies ahead.

“I know that we will be living in a very different world after living through coronavirus, and we’re honouring that which is really important but it’s going to be very very different.”

She said it’s going to be a “new challenge for my brain”, which has “literally gone to sleep for the last few months”.
