Danny said: “It’s been quite slow integrating me back into the show since I come back.

“I’ve got some really powerful stuff coming up with Kellie and stuff I can’t talk about at the moment but it’s good.

“Mick is going to go through some really [big] mental health issues, that’s all I can say.”

Danny has also been full of praise for EastEnders boss Kate Oates – who was previously in charge of Emmerdale and Coronation Street – admitting the senior executive producer is well loved by the cast.

He added to The Sun Online: “It feels like Kate Oates has brought the show back, she is the queen and we are all hopelessly in love with her.”

In January, Danny admitted Kate had come in and done a “great” job on the BBC One soap, which he said was coming out of “a tough couple of years”.

Speaking at the National Television Awards – where he won the Serial Drama Performance prize – he told BANG Showbiz and other media: “It’s a creative place, it’s a difficult place to work, we’ve had a tough couple of years.
