Ross Kemp has got fans excited by hinting he could reprise his role as Grant Mitchell in EastEnders.
The actor retweeted a message sent to ‘Enders producer Dominic Treadwell-Collins from a fan that asked for Phil Mitchell to be reunited with his brother on the soap.
The message read: “I really hope @dominictv convinces @RossKemp to return to @bbceastenders... I would love to see the Mitchell Brothers back together again.”
Ross replied: “Never say never.”
Show fans were quick to agree, with one tweeting: “I’m certain it would bring a lot of extra viewers in too.”
Another posted: “Yes yes YESSSSSS. Please!!!”
And someone else wrote: “Our fingers, toes & eyes are crossed---not a pretty picture but we’re willing to do anything!!”
Ross played the landlord of the Queen Vic pub from 1990 to 1999 under the watchful eye of his mother Peggy Mitchell, played by Barbara Windsor.
He joined the series again in 2005 but left when his character moved to Portugal in 2006.
