    After his stint in Celebrity Big Brother, John Partridge it seems, is irresistible to TV execs who have reinstated Christian and his on-screen mother Lynda Baron in EastEnders.

    Bosses are staying tight-lipped on the details surrounding their return, but the shocking storyline promises to change the Beale family forever.

    Christian was last seen in the Square back in 2015 when he attended the wedding of Ian and Jane as part of the 30th anniversary live week.

    On his return, John Partridge said:

    “I am thrilled to be able to return to EastEnders whilst touring the UK with Chicago… Christian is never far from my mind – I turn my back for five minutes and look what happens!”

    Christian’s character has in the past caused considerable controversy with some viewers of the long running London-based soap. In late 2008, 145 complaints were made after a kiss between Christian and new love interest Lee was broadcast before the 9PM watershed.

    Episodes featuring John Partridge are set to air in Summer 2016.

    Next week the gay character Johnny Carter will return to the square to reunite with his family.

    In 2014 the star who is 5 ft 9,  dropped a whopping 2 stones.

    He said,

    “When I got the call from ITV asking me to take part in Dancing On Ice I knew I had to take action.

    “I had 10-12 weeks to lose two stone, and I was so determined I reached my target in eight weeks.

    The West End star swapped his favourite Chinese takeaways and cans of lager for healthy eating and regular gym visits. And the results are outstanding.

    Cutting out potatoes, pasta and bread for a “Caveman Diet” high in protein and fresh veg the 25-year-old star dropped 28lbs in eight weeks.

    The 27-year-old, who now works in theatre,  is almost unrecognisable from his time in the XFACTOR in 2006.

    Talking about his transformation Ray said,

    “I couldn’t get enough of pizza, chips, KFC or Chinese meals after each show. I’d like a drink or two, easily washing down six cans of lager a night. That’s a lot! It really bloated me out.”

    On deciding to make a change Ray transformed his diet and is now reaping the results – showing off a defined six pack and muscular toned arms.

    After his debut album, which sold over 300,000 copies in the UK,  Ray took an extended break, but has now put himself firmly back in the limelight.

    “The victim has been left extremely upset by this senseless assault, and we are committed to finding the people responsible so that they cannot continue to commit such hateful acts.

    “Hate crime of any kind will not be tolerated and I would urge anyone who has any information about this incident to come forward.”
