EastEnders' Adam Woodyatt has teased a return to TV as he discussed his future projects.
The actor is best known for his role as Ian Beale on the BBC One soap, and as he opened up about what he had coming up for him in the next few years, he admitted there was one TV show he'd love to be back on. He had previously described it as one which had changed his life, and admitted it had a big effect on him going forward.
Adam finished in the top six during last year's I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here, which was broadcasted from Wales for a second year owing to the pandemic. There is an All Stars version in the works, and Adam says he'd be keen to join the series.
Speaking about the possibility of heading on the All Stars version, he said: "I'd go back and do it in a heartbeat, I'd go back to the castle, dump me in a desert, I'd go back, I loved it. Me and Si [Simon Gregson], we had the best time."
However, he is convinced that those who did better would be the ones signing up for the upcoming All Stars series, rather than him. Although, he had previously opened up about how the show helped him out of a rough patch.
Elsewhere, Adam is best known for his role as EastEnders icon Ian Beale, something which he knows he'll be linked to for life.
"I'm not just Ian Beale, there is an actor behind Ian Beale," he told Her as he chatted about his iconic soap role, "I've been associated with EastEnders for 38 years. In 22 years I'll probably still be associated with EastEnders because that's the nature of the character."
Following his stint on I'm A Celebrity last year, Adam teared up as he spoke about how the show was a "new start" for him following the end of his marriage, as he admitted there was "a lot of stuff still going on".
Asked if his time in the castle has helped him turn his life around, he began, "A bit. I looked at it as..." before pausing and trying not to tear up as he chatted to hosts Ant McPartlin and Dec Donnelly. Composing himself, he added: "Oh you got me, you bugger.
"I'd looked at it as if it was going to be a new start. There's a lot of stuff still going on. Mentally, I've sorted myself out. My head was in the right place going in there which is why I've loved it so much."
Away from the castle, Adam has spoke multiple times about a possible EastEnders return, and had previously slammed bosses for their decisions as he admitted he didn't personally agree with all the directions his character was taken in.
"The character evolved. If you think back in the 80s, he was a spotty, teenage kid. He was getting bullied at school, his dad wanted him to do boxing," he said, "It's been a very, very long journey. But don't get me wrong, I don't always think that some of the changes were right. Maybe they should've chosen other directions to go but they weren't my decisions."
