EastEnders’ Richard Blackwood gives big hope to Vincent Hubbard fans

He's a Walford favourite

Richard Blackwood says he would “never rule out” an EastEnders return, but he has something else “quite big” coming up soon.

The 46-year-old star may have some more time on his hands after he was eliminated from Dancing on Ice last night (20.01.19).

And a return to Walford could be on the cards.

He said: “I’ve got a movie coming out, also there’s some other stuff that is huge.

“But EastEnders, I would never rule it out. They were good to me, so I’ve got love for them.

“But there is something else, which is quite big.”

Richard revealed he has a film project first, but confirmed he would be prepared to head back to Walford if show bosses gave him a great storyline.

When asked if he would return if the plot was right, he replied: “Of course, absolutely, I’ve got love for them.”

The star was disappointed to exit Dancing on Ice on Sunday, and insisted he and his pro skating partner Carlotta Edwards had “a lot more” to give.

He added to Lorraine: “I don’t believe we were ready to go yet. There was a lot more [to give].

“You could see, the dance, it was very strong.”

Last year, Richard admitted the door was “slightly ajar” about a potential Albert Square return.

He said: “It’s slightly ajar. I can see the guys in there and they’re like, ‘Richard, how’s it going?’ I’m like, ‘Yeah, just checking. We good? My family still there?’

“EastEnders was really good for me. It’s a fast machine. It taught me you don’t have the luxury of taking the time to overly rehearse.

“It’s very quick but it gets you to that place of landing it straight away and trusting it.

“It’s like a master-class. I’m very fortunate.”
