It's back to school for Todd

Todd Carty, who played Mark Fowler in EastEnders before being dropped earlier this month, is to return to Grange Hill after a 20-year absence.

Carty goes back to the school where he made his name as Tucker Jenkins, this time as a concerned guardian for a special one-off episode.

He will return as Tucker, now approaching middle age and the uncle of Grange Hill student Patrick "Togger" Johnson.

"I'm chuffed and delighted to be saying hello to my old mate Tucker Jenkins," said Carty, 38.

"I'm looking forward to the new start. I'm returning to the set of Grange Hill in October."
