I’m A Celebrity fans convinced Shane Richie is keen for EastEnders comeback

I’m A Celebrity viewers reckon Shane Richie is looking to return to EastEnders as Walford legend Alfie Moon.

Tonight, fans were left giggling as Shane taught Mo to become Phil Mitchell – though it was less Walford hardman, more ‘Mill Phitchel’.

But eyebrows were also raised as it became the nth time that Shane had slipped back into his alter ego.

Fans took to Twitter to comment, with one writing: “Shane mentions Eastenders everyday. #imaceleb.”

While another commented: “As soon as Shane starts talking Eastenders I shut off YOU’RE NOT EVEN IN IT ANYMORE!! #ImACeleb.”

A third fumed: “Oh Shane, you’re not on EastEnders anymore, f***ing get over it.”

Shane first appeared in EastEnders back in 2002 and has appeared on-and-off in the BBC soap for 17 years.

He first left Walford back in 2005 on Christmas Day and returned five years later after wife Kat’s return.

Shane then left again in 2016 before briefly returning in May 2018 after Kat’s cousin Hayley revealed that she was carrying his baby.

However, Alfie was last seen in 2019 after staging his own death in a bid to get out of his troubling debt.

He had scammed Phil out of £50,000 before leaving Walford and hasn’t been seen since.

With Kat’s boyfriend Kush’s departure imminent, is there room for Alfie to return to the Square?
