Danny Dyer has got EastEnders fans’ hopes sky high, as he called for his character Mick to be brought back to the show.
Speaking while presenting the New Drama award alongside Katherine Parkinson at this year’s National Television Awards – which went to Mr Bates vs the Post Office – Dyer took a moment to call out to the team from the BBC soap in the audience.
He said: “Just want to give a shout-out to my EastEnders family over there. I love you, I miss you – bring Mick back!”

The crowd cheered, after which he asked his co-presenter: “Do you think they should bring Mick back, Katherine?” – to which Parkinson simply asked: “Who?”
Dyer left his role as Mick Carter on EastEnders at the end of 2022, and while this may be nothing more than a funny skit at the NTAs for now, the crowd reaction certainly revealed a huge appetite for Mick to return.
