Joe Swash: 'EastEnders return is interesting'

Joe Swash has described his return to EastEnders as "interesting".

The actor, who was axed as Mickey Miller in 2008 after five years on the show, has agreed to film two special episodes for the soap to commemorate on-screen brother Darren's wedding to Jodie Gold.

Swash told PA: "I went back to EastEnders a couple of weeks ago to do some episodes, which was interesting and nice. Basically I head back for Darren's leaving storyline, but I can't say much more than that. I'm sorry - I'd tell you if I could!"

Last month, Swash said of Mickey's return to the Square: "He's pleased to see some of his old mates but when he finds out what they've planned for Darren's stag do he realises he has to take control as it's pretty dire. Luckily for Darren, big brother Mickey makes sure he gets one hell of a send-off before his big day."

Charlie G Hawkins, who plays Darren, said earlier this year that he has "enjoyed [his] time at EastEnders immensely" and thanked the show's team for their "tremendous support".

Kylie Babbington has previously confirmed that she will be staying on in her role as Jodie.
