I always said that when the boys were teenagers I could go back, but the longer you don't do something the harder it is to do it, and I haven't really missed it."While I'd never say never, I'm genuinely happy as I am.

The job was great. You're driven everywhere, fed every five minutes and told what to do and where to go."What I struggled with was that the boys were very young and I felt like I was away filming all the time.

I'd been blessed with these little people and yet I wasn't really there. I realised I wanted to be at home."In 2012, the TV star returned to Eastenders for a special appearance at Pat Butcher's funeral.
