And when Jake appeared on Good Morning Britain on Wednesday July 21st to talk about the creepy theater show, he was questioned about the reality show.

Jake, who recently teased a possible return to Albert Square, then revealed, “Yeah, I’ll be done by mid-October.”
The actor’s reveal was greeted with an excited reaction by Ben, 46, and co-host Kate Garraway.
