Former EastEnders star Brian Conley explained the real reason behind
his shock decision to leave the BBC soap.
Sources claimed last September that the Rocky Cotton actor, 62, t was ‘not
enjoying being on EastEnders anymore — and has been telling a lot of colleagues
and telly friends he wanted out for a while.’
Appearing on Wednesday’s (July 3) Good Morning Britain, presenter Susanna Reid asked the comedian: ‘You haven’t been in EastEnders for six months, because you’re in prison there is a release date at some point.
‘You could go back…but you’ve said actually it’s probably too much?’
Brian explained: ‘I left because you’re not allowed to do anything else. Although I’ve now found out you can. But at the time, they said you can’t do anything.’
He added: ‘I’m a live performer, I love being live, I love getting out there – musicals and my own show which I’m currently doing.’
