Adam Woodyatt showed off his weight loss on a bike ride this week, amid ongoing speculation that he could be set to return to EastEnders for £300,000 this year.
The actor, 53, left the BBC soap in 2020 for an extended break, which has seen him take part in I'm a Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here! and now tour with the stage play Looking Good Dead.
He was photographed arriving at the Palace Theatre in Southend earlier this week - ahead of rehearsals for a performance - with him turning up to the venue on a bike.
