Ross Kemp has revealed he will not be joining Barbara Windsor for a special EastEnders anniversary episode next month.
The actor said that he would be absent from the soap's 30th birthday celebrations due to filming commitments.

Speaking to the Gloucester Citizen, Kemp said: "I can't join her [Windsor]. It's just about space in my diary."
Kemp did, however, say that he wouldn't be averse to an Albert Square reunion in the future, saying: "I would never rule out going back to EastEnders, I owe it a heck of a lot. I think it's a great show."
Rumours of Kemp's return to the show were fuelled when the BBC refused to confirm a report that Kemp would be back for the soap's 30th anniversary.
Windsor will be reprising her role as Peggy Mitchell for one episode as part of the anniversary week in February.
Oooh Er......
EastEnders bosses have decided to give fans the chance to choose Ian and Jane Beale's wedding song.
The on-off couple will be walking down the aisle live next month as the show celebrates its 30th anniversary with a special Live Week.
From 12pm today (January 28), viewers will be able to visit the official EastEnders website and vote for which song should be played as the happy moment takes place.
Five tracks have been put up for consideration by the viewers, all of which were hits during EastEnders' first year on the air in 1985.
The shortlist of songs includes 'The Power of Love' by Jennifer Rush, 'I Want To Know What Love Is' by Foreigner and 'You're The Inspiration' by Chicago.

BBC One's controller Charlotte Moore commented: "BBC One will mark the 30th anniversary of its flagship series with the most ambitious week of live television drama ever attempted. The truth will out as Lucy Beale's killer is finally exposed to the nation.
"Alongside the unmissable drama, we have a Graham Norton special and Zoe Ball will present a live backstage show with Ore Oduba and Joe Swash to complete proceedings - it's going to be off the scale!"
EastEnders' executive producer Dominic Treadwell-Collins added: "As we celebrate our 30th anniversary, we have set ourselves an enormous challenge - a week of live scenes, a form-breaking flashback, a live episode, story twists that will leave a lump in the throat and a few moments that will elicit genuine gasps from our audience.
"Having the week bookmarked with some of our most iconic characters on Graham's sofa and Zoe's live aftermath show coming direct from Albert Square as the dust is just settling, elevates this into the biggest week ever for EastEnders fans old and new."

EastEnders' full 30-minute live episode will air the following evening on February 20, but all of the other broadcasts that week will include some live elements.
Kat Moon will furiously lash out at Sonia Fowler on EastEnders later this month, as her personal problems escalate.
Sonia (Natalie Cassidy) will bear the brunt of Kat's drunken behaviour at Ian and Jane Beale's wedding, resulting in a dramatic showdown between the pair.
Although Kat (Jessie Wallace) agrees to attend the wedding with her estranged husband Alfie, any hopes for a reconciliation are crushed as she starts knocking back drinks. This causes Alfie to become increasingly fed up with her out-of-control behaviour.
The day then goes from bad to worse as Kat grows jealous of Alfie (Shane Richie) and soon spots Sonia staring at her. When Sonia confronts a drunken Kat about her frosty behaviour, Kat takes things too far and pushes Sonia's face into the wedding cake.
With everyone shocked by the commotion, Alfie intervenes and desperately tries to get through to Kat, but has she gone too far this time?

New EastEnders pictures have been released offering a first look at the moment that Peggy Mitchell comes face-to-face with the Queen Vic's newest landlord Mick Carter.
Peggy, played by Barbara Windsor, is returning to Walford for one episode which will air as part of the BBC soap's 30th anniversary celebrations next week.

Danny Dyer and Barbara Windsor in The Vic
While Peggy has other reasons for heading back to Albert Square, she can't resist paying a visit to The Vic and fans can look forward to a must-see scene as she meets Mick for the first time.
Danny Dyer, who plays Mick, has revealed that he was delighted to have the opportunity to briefly work alongside Windsor.
"It was a real moment when I got told because for me, I think EastEnders had some of its best moments when Barbara was at the helm," Dyer explained. "So it was a shame that when I came in, Barbara was no longer in the show. So when I was told Barbara was coming back for an episode and doing a scene with me, it was just a real moment of like, 'Wow, wow, it's gonna happen!'
"I think we were both a little bit nervous, to be honest with you. I was a bit nervous obviously because Barbara was the matriarch. It's an intimidating place to act in The Vic, so we were both nervous together and I think that worked beautifully. She's a beautiful lady and I think we both inspired each other in different ways."

He added: "I've known Barbara for a little while but not well. But she was lovely. She wound me up and said, 'Oi you, I want a word with you!' I was like, 'Oh no, here we go', and then she wound me up and gave me a big cuddle. It was lovely to be around her. Barbara is a real force and a real presence and a massive EastEnders fan. She gave me the thumbs up which is a massive thing!"
EastEnders airs these scenes on Tuesday, February 17 at 7.30pm on BBC One.
I can barely contain my excitement. I for one just cannot wait for the return of this fantastic actress who will breath new life into the show with her fantastic acting abilities. Such a shame that the licence payers could not afford to fund her for a full time return. To me she epitomises Eastenders and the show is a poorer place without her talents.
Well I for one can't wait for this momentous moment in television history.Quote:

The BBC has said that EastEnders' Live Week's scenes will be clearly highlighted for viewers.
The soap will celebrate its 30th anniversary next week, with episodes on Tuesday (February 17), Wednesday (February 18) and Thursday (February 19) including live inserts, ahead of an entire live episode on Friday (February 20).
Responding to fans on the show's official Facebook page, it was confirmed that the scenes would be "clearly marked" with the official hashtag '#EELive', enabling viewers to know exactly when the cast are broadcasting live from the Elstree set.
Live Week will see the 'Who Killed Lucy Beale?' storyline come to a head, with the killer being revealed in Thursday's hour-long edition. It will be followed by a special 30-minute flashback episode that will take viewers back to Good Friday 2014, revealing the true sequence of events that led to Lucy's (Hetti Bywater) murder.
Barbara Windsor (Peggy Mitchell), Jo Joyner (Tanya Branning) and John Partridge (Christian Clarke) will all make on-screen comebacks across the week.
EastEnders will recreate its first ever scene as part of the soap's 30th anniversary celebrations next week.

Number 23 is the house where Arthur Fowler, Den Watts and Ali Osman found Reg Cox in episode one of EastEnders, shortly before he died.
Next week, it will be Reg's killer Nick Cotton (John Altman) who will be found in a grim state at the house. However, unlike his victim Reg, he will already be dead.

An EastEnders statement teased: "Bosses are keeping tight lipped about which characters are involved, but the scene will be reminiscent of the very first ever episode. It is not the only nod to the past that EastEnders will be giving that week and viewers should keep their eyes open for other moments that mirror past stories."
EastEnders' executive producer Dominic Treadwell-Collins added: "Live Week allows us to have some fun while also paying respect to our past. Our story producer Alex Lamb had the idea to replicate EastEnders' first ever scene back when we started planning our anniversary - and it has been lovingly modernised for 2015 by anniversary producer Sharon Batten, our longest-serving EastEnders writer Rob Gittins and director Karl Neilson.
"With little touches like this throughout the week, we will hopefully make Julia Smith and Tony Holland proud of the show they created back in 1985."
Meanwhile, the pictured scenes above will air on Tuesday (February 17), showing a grief-stricken Dot Branning (June Brown) pay another visit to her wayward son at Number 23 after watching him die.
EastEnders celebrates its 30-year milestone all next week, with highlights including a 30-minute live episode, the revelation of who killed Lucy Beale, a special flashback episode, Ian and Jane's wedding and the returns of Peggy Mitchell, Tanya Cross and Christian Clarke.
Barbara Windsor has revealed that she will take part in one live scene as part of EastEnders' 30th anniversary week.
Windsor is reprising her iconic role as Peggy Mitchell for an episode during the week, and has now revealed that she will also appear in a live element.

"There shouldn't be live episodes," she joked to the Daily Star. "Luckily, I've only got one live scene on Tuesday but it's so different to doing theatre. There are cameras, there's cables and there's microphones.
"I've already been told to be careful because there's a cable and this big thing above me."
Windsor also expressed disappointment that she will not be joined by former co-star Ross Kemp.
"That Ross is a cheeky bugger. He'll say to me over dinner, 'Yeah, I'm coming back,' and then he doesn't," she said. "I actually thought he would come back this time."
The actress went on to say: "Of course, I'm a little disappointed there won't be one last scene with Peggy and her boys. It would've been good, but a lot of other stuff is happening on the show."
EastEnders begins its anniversary celebration this week.
Really, Babs? You mean besides your appearance? I can't believe that. What else could possibly be happening next week that is anywhere near as significant and important as your return?Quote:

The BBC show is marking its milestone with live elements to all of this week's episodes, building up to a full 30-minute live broadcast this Friday.

Subsequent scenes were pre-recorded, until the moment that Jane Beale opened up the wedding card that Lauren Branning had left for her.
With Lauren seemingly now aware of how Lucy Beale died, her card to Jane revealed some surprising new information - disclosing her belief that Lucy was killed in her own home.

This wasn't the only shock moment as a live cliffhanger airing immediately afterwards saw Lauren's father Max panic after she suddenly decided to flee from the Square.
Confronting his youngest daughter Abi, Max said: "She ain't coming back. You don't get it, do you? You don't understand. She knows you killed Lucy."
Show bosses previously promised that the identity of Lucy's killer would be revealed this Thursday, so time will only tell whether there is any truth to Max's belief or whether it's another red herring in the long-running storyline.
