Former EastEnders actress Amy-Leigh Hickman has revealed that she would like to return to Albert Square one day as her controversial alter ego Linzi Bragg.
Fans will remember Linzi as Jay Brown’s ex girlfriend who got him in serious trouble by lying about her age.
The now funeral director was 21 when he met Linzi, and the pair started dating, with him oblivious to the fact she was a actually still at school and only 14.

The actress told BANG Showbiz: “I’d never say never about returning. It’s weird because that show is still in so much of my personal life. It’s where I met the people who are my best friends now.
“I always associate that job with a lot of happiness. Never say never, I really enjoyed my time there.
“I see a lot of Tilly Keeper, who plays Louise Mitchell, Jasmine Armfield, who plays Rebecca Fowler and Shaheen Jafargholi, who plays Shakil Kazemi.”
Amy-Leigh also revealed another connection to the show that some fans may have forgotten about.
When she was in EastEnders back in 2016 and 2017, her on-screen mum was played by none other than Lorraine Stanley, who now plays infamous Walford character Karen Taylor.
Amy-Leigh revealed that Lorraine playing her mum Thelma opened the door to her now more premenant role on the soap…
“Lorraine didn’t do much playing my mum but she’s so talented and she’s so good. I think they just saw her and thought, ‘There’s so much more we can do with this woman because she is so fab’.
“I’m so pleased for her because she is one of the most down to earth people you will ever meet and because of Tilly and Jasmine, I always ask how she’s doing, and she does with me.”
