He's currently wowing crowds in Sunderland as one of the leads in My Fair Lady, but Adam Woodyatt isn't ruling out a return to the role he is most famous for - EastEnders legend Ian Beale.
Adam is one of the most recognisable faces in the British entertainment industry, having played Albert Square's unlikely icon Ian for over 30 years, before walking away from Walford in a rather mysterious and very much open-ended exit. And he managed to keep it a secret from all of his EastEnders co-stars that he was making a shock comeback for a very brief appearance at Dot's funeral.
Tributes flooded in from across the world last year for June Brown, when the actress who made Dot the remarkable character she was, passed away at the age of 95. And, right before Chr5istmas, EastEnders bid a tearful farewell to one of its most famous matriarchs, with Dot's funeral episode seeing returns to Albert Square for the likes of Jacqueline Jossa as Lauren Branning and Linda Davidson as Mary.
