Jacqueline Jossa has revealed she is open to returning to EastEnders, but only once her character Lauren Branning is 'missed' by viewers. The actress, 28, left the BBC One soap in 2018 after eight years on the show.
Speaking on Thursday's Halloween special of Celebrity Juice, Jossa, dressed as a bloodied Marie Antoinette, was asked by host Keith Lemon if she would ever go back. She replied: 'When the time's right, yes, I think the character needs to be missed before you can come back.'
Jossa also commented on her relationship with former co-star Adam Woodyatt, who plays Ian Beale, saying: 'He's nice if he likes you and he likes me!'
Earlier this year, Jossa told MailOnline she hopes to return within five years, adding: 'I absolutely love EastEnders, love the people, the production and I absolutely love Lauren Branning with all my heart. It doesn't feel like it was a goodbye forever.'
The actress, now a mother of two, joked she could 'hobble back in on my walking stick', referencing Lauren's fall from the Queen Vic roof during the 2017 Christmas Day episode.
