If Peggy Mitchell's EastEnders return was big, this is off the charts.
The
internet was blown away by everyone's favourite landlady coming back onto our screens, but the return of Grant Mitchell has got even more people talking.
It has been confirmed that Ross Kemp will return as the iconic character after an absence of 10 years.

Grant was one of the show's most popular characters in the mid-2000s, bringing Kemp plenty of critical acclaim, and the reaction on Twitter is one of excitement.
