Former Eastenders star Laila Morse reckons the soap has taken a turn for the worst since the arrival of new boss Sean O'Connor last year.
The 71-year-old actress, who played dodgy dealer Big Mo on The Square, says she thinks all of the fun has been drained from the show since O'Connor replaced Dominic Treadwell-Collins in the post of executive producer.
"I still watch EastEnders but it feels like all the fun has gone. It used to make people laugh.
"It's not like that anymore. It's just not got the kick in it that it used to have."
Morse, who was written out of the show in January 2016 after 15 years, admitted she had not officially been given notice from producers that her time on the show was up.
"People come up to me in the street every day and ask why I'm not in EastEnders anymore as Big Mo used to make people laugh," she told The Sun.
"All of a sudden my character disappeared and I wasn't in it any more, but I've never officially left the show. I've never had a leaving party or a present."
The I'm a Celebrity...Get Me Out of Here! says she would be up for returning to the long-running show and would love to work with the cast in the future.
"I hope Big Mo comes back," she said. "I like all the cast, they're lovely people, so it would be good to film with them again."
EastEnders continues tonight at 7.30pm on BBC One.
