Whats On TV has reported that former Eastenders actor, Todd Carty, is to appear on the final episode of Grange Hill This September.

The former EastEnders star also starred in Grange Hill for four years playing Peter “Tucker” Jenkins.

This time round he will appear as the uncle of Patrick “Togger” Johnson, who is facing expulsion from school after falling behind with his coursework.

Carty said: “Going back to Grange Hill was hugely nostalgic and quite emotional. I was sat having lunch in the canteen with all the kids during filming and getting a little misty-eyed.

“I was one of those kids 30 years ago. I’d wake up every morning excited about going to the studio. Grange Hill was the best time of my life.”
