'EastEnders' star back with girlfriend

EastEnders star Joe Swash has reunited with long-term lover Emma Sophocleous.

The pair split last year after Swash, who plays Mickey Miller, refused to stop partying despite suffering from a major illness. He had been struck down by meningitis in October and could not work for several months.

"Emma's deeply in love with him but she thought he was on a path to self-destruction," a source told The People. "They are a great match and can't keep apart."
