Joe Swash has blasted EastEnders bosses for never giving him a “doof doof” moment.
The soap famously ends each episode by playing the first two drum beats of its theme tune over the final shot of the drama.
And the squeaky-voiced star is devastated he didn’t get to be part of any cliffhangers during his five-year stint as Mickey Miller on the BBC soap.

In a rant in the I’m A Celeb camp in upcoming scenes, he moans: “I was there five years and not one doof doof.”
Joe didn’t even get a big moment for his character when he left the show in 2008.

He says: “The worst out-tro ever. I didn’t even leave at the end of the episode.
“Usually, you leave at the end of the episode and you get the doof doof. Mine, I went to Norwich to be a bell boy at a hotel.
“And mid scene I just walked into the Queen Vic and went, ‘Right, see you later’.

“They turned back to Phil, turned back to me and I’d gone. I was like ‘What, that’s it?’.”
Since leaving EastEnders, Joe has failed to land any acting roles.
The 41-year-old has been earning cash by doing reality shows including Dancing on Ice and The Jump.
Joe, who is married to Stacey Solomon, is keen to reprise his role on the soap, but admits bosses haven’t shown any interest.

He added: “They’ve never asked me. Not once. People think I can phone up EastEnders and go, ‘I’m ready to come back now guys’.
“Let me make this clear… EastEnders have never phoned me to get me back on the show.”
