Exclusive: EastEnders' Grant and Tiffany reunited as Ross Kemp joins Martine McCutcheon
Grant Mitchell and wife Tiffany were reunited on TV for the first time in 18 years after Ross Kemp joined Martine McCutcheon on the show.
The pair were thrilled to see each other again and said hello with a massive hug.
'It was the best times ever,' Martine said of her time on EastEnders with Ross. 'There was a code between us, and we had each other’s back, I was so young - I was 18 - Ross watched me grow up. I saw so much while I was there, it was such an intense time.'
And Ross agreed that they were very close while playing husband and wife. 'You spend more time there with you fake family than you do with your real family and that’s why some of the acting is so natural and so immediate because really, you have an alternative family,' he said.
But it wasn't all plain sailing - Grant wasn't a popular character sometimes!
'Truly I remember presenting something at The Albert Hall at the time that Tiffany had been allegedly pushed down the stairs by Grant when actually she had tripped,' Ross revealed. 'I said "Are you sure you want me to give out this award?" I walked on to the Albert Hall, and [the audience] just went BOO!'
