Former EastEnder Jack Ryder is to make a return to TV - in police drama The Bill. The 26-year-old actor - best known for playing Albert Square heartthrob Jamie Mitchell - met producers last week about joining the ITV series. He is set to play a new character callerd Duane Howe.
It will be the first high-profile TV job the star has landed since his EastEnders character was killed off in 2005.
A source close to the star - who split from his wife, Coronation Street actress Kym Ryder, in March - said: "Jack has been through the mill with the end of his marriage." "This is a great opportunity and he's keen to get his teeth stuck into a big project to take the focus off his personal life".
Baby-faced Ryder was just 17 whe he was cast as hardman Phil Mitchell's nephew, Jamie, in 1998.

Bet he teams up with Kiddiecop and they can jointly save the world. :lol:
