"I'm still waiting for EastEnders to holler," he quipped. "I don't know what's going on. I don't know how many tweets I have to tweet, how many episodes I have to watch.

''I could do a gig in the Queen Vic, try to get Kat and Alfie back together. Get her head straight, whatever. Maybe something in the cafe? Get a sandwich. There's loads of things I could do on there.''

He added: "I hear my songs in there, which is good, and to be honest, I get a little bit excited when I hear that. I could at least play myself and they could come and high five me and I could go and get a drink in the Queen Vic or something.''

Richie recently said of Alfie's relationship with Kat: "I found out a little bit of what might be happening over the next few months. We're in for a big ride between now and Christmas.

"Of course we'd love another ten years of Kat and Alfie, there are genuinely exciting times ahead. I do miss working with Jessie."

He continued: "I always think the best stories are the slow burners that take time."
