Shane Richie has denied that he is leaving EastEnders after his spin off with Jessie Wallace have aired. Newspapers previously reported that he would leave after the spin off but he has rubbished the claims.
"Shane will be returning to EastEnders," said the spokesperson. "In fact, we already have some dates lined up." says a BBC spokesperson.
The pair left the Square after they won the lottery and planned to move to Spain, but they will soon star in their own six-part spinoff set in Ireland.
What Kat doesn't know is that Alfie was diagnosed with a brain tumour shortly before the pair left.
Richie said: "I can't wait to start filming our new Kat and Alfie drama. But as I've always said, I will be returning to EastEnders."

Richie's agent Phil Dale added: "My client Shane Richie has always said that he would return to EastEnders. Why wouldn't he? It's his second home, and he loves it!"
Richie first joined the show as Alfie in 2002 and stayed on the Square for three years, before returning in 2010.
Can't wait for their return, am missing them both already! Having said that, I am looking forward to watching their spin-off series too. xx
