Alfie Moon is set to return to Albert Square, with Shane Richie reprising his iconic EastEnders role later this autumn.<\/p>\n

The I\u2019m A Celebrity<\/a> star, who last appeared on the soap in 2019, will be back in Walford later this year, with EastEnders teasing that he\u2019s \u201ccertain to turn a few heads\u201d thanks to his past wrongdoings.<\/p>\n

\u201cSo just what is bringing Alfie back to the Square?\u201d the BBC said. \u201cOne thing for certain is that things are never straightforward for Alfie, but if anyone can charm their way out of trouble, it\u2019s Alfie Moon.\u201d<\/p>\n

Speaking about his return to EastEnders, Richie said that it was \u201can absolute honour and privilege\u201d to return to the soap.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m looking forward to catching up with some old cast mates and meeting some new ones,\u201d he said. \u201cThe new exec producer Chris Clenshaw has been instrumental in wanting to bring Alfie Moon back with some wonderful storylines\u2026 and who am I to say no?! I can\u2019t wait.\u201d<\/p>\n

Richie first joined EastEnders as Alfie Moon back in November 2002, keeping viewers gripped with his rocky marriage to Kat Slater (Jessie Wallace), his relationship with Roxy Mitchell (Rita Simons) and his various dodgy money-making schemes.<\/p>

He left the Square in 2019 after Kat ended their relationship, having discovered that he was the father of her cousin Hayley\u2019s baby.<\/p>\n

Alfie then fled Walford after stealing money from Phil Mitchell (Steve McFadden), however he later gave the money to Kat to return to him.<\/p>\n
