Lee rose to fame as schoolboy Zammo in Grange Hill during the eighties, alongside EastEnders Mark Fowler icon Todd Carty as Tucker.
During his time on the programme, Lee’s character Zammo was at the centre of a hard-hitting drugs storyline, with the actor and his fellow cast members becoming involved in a number of anti-drug campaigns encouraging young people to “Just say no.”
The series, which ran from 1978 to 2008, was created by Brookside and Hollyoaks’ Sir Phil Redmond, who recently announced that the series was being brought back as a film.

Speaking about the film, Zammo actor Lee, who has since appeared in The Bill and Birds Of A Feather, told the BBC that he “would love to do it.”
Sir Phil also echoed these sentiments during an interview with the BBC, saying: “he has not been short of offers from his other acting friends.”
“I’ve also got all the old Brookie crew and Hollyoaks gang saying they’d love to be in it,” he said.
