Jessica Plummer would return to 'EastEnders' - despite her character being dead.
Jessica Plummer as Chantelle Atkins
The 28-year-old star played Chantelle Atkins in the BBC One soap from 2019 until late last year when her character was killed by her husband Gray Atkins (Toby-Alexander Smith), and the actress admitted she wouldn't hesitate about returning to Albert Square if producers wanted her back.
She said: "I love 'EastEnders' and if they called tomorrow and said, 'Come back,' I wouldn’t be able to turn it down."
However, Jessica believes it was the "right time to leave" last year, and she was pleased to be part of an explosive exit storyline.
She said: "I do think it was the right time to leave.
"I love doing things and then moving onto something else. But I’m happy I left in the way I did and the storyline I did. Being involved in that was huge."
The 'I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here!' star - who has four-year-old daughter Noa - is now on the lookout for TV and film roles which will push her "out of [her] comfort zone".
She added to OK! magazine: "My dream is to look at more TV and film roles, saying yes to things and pushing myself outside of my comfort zone like I did with 'I’m A Celeb'."
Jessica's on-screen 'EastEnders' exit played out in September last year, and the star admitted at the time she was "in absolute bits" about leaving the soap.
She wrote on Instagram: "Now that the dust has slightly settled, I’d just like to say..
"On a personal note, I am in absolute bits to be leaving the show. I miss even this bits I thought I hated (that dodgy outside toilet near the police station with 20 million spiders)
"All of it has been a dream come true. Without getting speechy, I owe SO many people my thanks for believing in me on my journey.
"Julia Crampsie, my agent Jonathan, Liza Mellody, Carolyn Weinstein, Jon Sen, Kate Oates .. and SO many more, including our viewers
"I came from a girl band, wanting nothing more than to prove myself as the actor I trained to be.
"I was trusted with such an important story, on one of the most iconic soaps in history
"Thank you!! (sic)"
