I’m A Celebrity fans wanted BBC bosses to make things right after Joe Swash complained about his EastEnders exit – and how the BBC soap has never asked him back.
The cheeky chap played Micky Miller on the BBC One soap from 2003 until 2008.
In Friday’s episode (May 5) of I’m A Celeb, Joe revealed he was devastated that he didn’t get to be part of any cliffhangers during his five-year stint on the BBC soap.

In the rant, he moaned: “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 said: “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?’.”

Following his confession, plenty of fans were left demanding EastEnders bosses to bring him back to the BBC One show.
One wrote: “Eastenders phone joe swash immediately!”
A second said: “‘EastEnders have never phoned me’ – Joe Swash should get his own back by joining Corrie instead.”
“If Joe wins this, they should end it with a proper Eastenders duff duff,” said a third.
Another added: “Mickey Miller was a great character. Get him back! Give him a doof doof!”
“Joe should get that phone call from Eastenders he’s much better than some characters on there now,” proclaimed a third fan.
A fourth agreed: “Would love to see Joe back on Eastenders!”
Joe, who is married to Stacey Solomon, is keen to reprise his role on the soap though, but admitted 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.”
