"In true EastEnders fashion, they’re just going to blow you all away. It’s going to tick all the boxes you need."
The actor also reflected on sharing the screen with some Walford legends, including Adam Woodyatt and Michelle Collins, who play Peter’s parents Ian and Cindy.
"It’s a dream coming back to work with the likes of Adam and Michelle," he said. "They’re iconic characters, aren’t they? People have grown up with those characters.
"I get stopped in the street and asked, ‘What’s it like having Ian Beale as a dad?’ It’s an honour really, it’s brilliant."
