EastEnders Kellie Bright practice before returning to soap

Oriental Medicine Man Kellie Bright has been working out before returning to the soap – after it was revealed that her on-screen husband Danny Dyer was out of work.

The actress, 45, who plays Linda Carter, went for a quick walk with her dog.

Kellie – Who is the player Linda Carter in EastEnders looked stylish in a bright green shirt as she rehearsed before returning to the hit BBC1 show.

She paired the top with tight pants that accentuated her toned legs.

The former star of the serious TV show pulled her hair back in a high bun for makeup and showed off her fresh face without makeup.

Kellie, who left the show on maternity leave after having her lovely ‘miracle’ son Rudy last year, was photographed outdoors when it was reported Danny had given up soap after being poached by Sky.

The 44-year-old actor, who plays Queen Vic’s host Mick Carter, is said to have signed on to a rival TV series in a six-figure deal.

While that is significantly less than he earns at the BBC, he is free to pursue opportunities outside of the Group that could see his earnings skyrocket.

The departure is set to leave the popular soap with giant boots to fill.

A soap spokesman said tonight: “Danny will leave EastEnders when his contract ends at the end of the year.

“Danny made Mick Carter an iconic character we will always be grateful for.

“However, we won’t say goodbye as there is still quite a bit of time – and a lot of explosive drama for Mick – to come before he leaves Walford.”
