EastEnders' Annette Badland drops MASSIVE hint Ross Kemp is returning to Albert Square
FOLLOWING Ross Kemp's cryptic tweet this week, EastEnders actress Annette Badland has just dropped another huge hint that the acclaimed actor and filmmaker will be returning to Albert Square as Grant Mitchell.
Annette Badland hints at Ross Kemp return to EastEnders
Ross played the thug with a heart, Grant from 1990 to 1999 and later appeared for two brief stints in 2005 and and 2006.
This week, he sent EastEnders fans into a frenzy when one avid viewer tweeted: "I would love to see the Mitchell Brothers back together again".
"Never say never!" replied the bonafied soap legend which was unsurprisingly met with an overwhelmingly excited response.
And during her appearance on today's Good Morning Britain, Annette - who plays the sinister Aunt Babe in the soap - fuelled speculation surrounding Grant's return.

When Susanna Reid asked if there was any truth surrounding the rumours of a Mitchell brothers reunion, the actress replied: "Babe might be on the prowl looking out for him now…"
"That suggests Ross Kemp is coming back," Susanna quizzed back.
"Wo am I to say? I never tell lies," Annette finished, leaving Good Morning Britain with their very own duh-duh-duh cliffhanger.
Of course, her character Aunt Babe is actually a serial liar.

Last month it came to light that she'd been baby-farming with the mother of Heather Trott many moons ago and convinced Shirley Carter to give up her son Mick (Danny Dyer).
Although, Annette assured Babe wasn't the villain she's been out to be and explained that she had simply been lead astray.
She continued: "I try and find as an actor the reason behind things so I hope people don't just put it down to her bleakness and darkness."

But this week will see Babe back to her old tricks when she has an affair with new Walford heartthrob Jason - the fiancé of Linda Carter's mother Elaine.
