EastEnders star Kellie Bright has been spotted taking her dog for a walk after it was revealed her on-screen husband Danny Dyer is leaving the soap.

Kellie, 45, who plays Linda Carter, is currently taking some time out from the show on maternity and earlier this month, Danny announced he has be quit playing Mick Carter after nine years.

The star looked relaxed as she strolled with her dog, wearing a neon yellow rain coated paired with leggings and trainers.

Kellie wore her blonde hair tied up in bun and was make-up free as she went for the walk, following the birth of her third child late last year.

Mum of three Kellie welcomed a baby boy called Rudy with her husband Paul Stocker last September.

Sharing her joy with OK! after the birth, the 45 year old said: "We're thrilled to announce the safe arrival of the latest addition to our family. Mum and baby are doing well."

Kellie and Paul are already parents to sons Freddy, nine, and Gene, four.

The pair previously opened up on the IVF journey to conceive their new arrival, after successfully using it to conceive Gene.

Having frozen three embryos, the couple decided at the end of 2019 to try for a third baby.

In September last year they began their IVF journey but the first two embryos didn't work.

Kellie told OK! when announcing her pregnancy back in March: "So this baby inside me now was the last one we had – the last chance of a pregnancy, because at 44 we were not going through IVF again. I believe it was meant to be."

Kellie’s on-screen husband Danny recently announced he was leaving the soap, after playing Mick Carter on the square since 2013.

Danny opened up on why now is the right time to branch out from the role, as he said he’d miss playing Mick enormously but there was still plenty more to come in the coming months.

Speaking on his hit podcast Sorted with the Dyers, alongside daughter Dani Dyer, Danny explained: “I am leaving EastEnders. I'm very lucky, I'm very grateful.

“When you're in a job like a soap, your contract comes up for renewal and every time it has they've asked me to stay, and I'm very grateful for that. Because I've seen a lot of people come and go. It's very tough.”

The dad of three added: “I always debate whether I want to sign again and I've been contemplating a while now about whether it's time to roll the dice, take the leap.

“The big news is I've decided not to renew my contract. That's all.”

“That's not because I've fallen out with anybody, I love everybody. That job has been amazing for me. It's an important part of television.

“I'm grateful for the beautiful years I've had there. I'm going to miss the people massively. It's me taking a risk.”

The popular actor went on to describe his sadness at his exit, but promised fans a very “special” exit storyline that is guaranteed to be gripping.

He teased: “It'll be a sad year for me, but I'm also very excited about it. So we're going to attack this year, and we're going to make this year a f***ing special one.”
