Bowden also opened up about the reason for leaving the BBC programme last year and admitted that he experienced a burnout after five years on the show. While talking on The Lewis Nicholls Show on YouTube, he said, “The important thing was my time was ready.

“From an honest perspective, I think, yeah, a lot of it was that I needed to go for a bit. I needed to go work on myself, get myself back to a place of really good mental health, focus on healing, and also be a dad,” he added. The beloved star is also still in touch with soap bosses, and we can definitely see him coming back in the future. For more such updates on EastEnders, keep following Soap Opera Daily!
