Former EastEnders star Bunmi Mojekwu has revealed that she can’t see herself returning to the show.
Mojekwu, who played Mercy Olubunmi in the soap, left the show in April after playing the part for a year. Her character, who decided to return to Nigeria, left Fatboy brokenhearted.
Speaking to Kent News, she said: "Although I love EastEnders, I wouldn't return - I am not a believer in going backwards. I like to go forwards and that chapter is definitely closed, but I had a great time there."
She continued: "Leaving was kind of a mutual thing - it was coming towards the end of the character's journey. I felt it was time for me to come off the back of this and challenge myself before I became a bit too rooted in the show.
"I didn't want that to happen, so I definitely feel comfortable coming out of EastEnders now. I have gained enough exposure and I want to move on to bigger things."
"I have a couple of things lined up - we are in talks at the moment, so I am crossing my fingers and waiting for the green light."
