Devon Anderson is to return to 'EastEnders'.

The 22-year-old actor will reprise his role as Billie Jackson in the BBC soap and will make his comeback early next year, along with other members of his on-screen family.

Speaking of his return, Devon - who has since appeared in 'Hollyoaks' - said: "I'm really happy to be back at EastEnders playing the role of Billie Jackson again. It was my first acting role and I can't wait to get started again.

"It is also very exciting that all of the Jackson family will be reunited and I'm sure that will be eventful for the viewers."

The soap's executive producer Diederick Santer added to website Digital Spy: "Viewers will remember Devon as the original Billie Jackson, the cute kid with the big hair. Devon, like Billie, is all grown up, and 12 years on, I'm delighted to welcome this talented young actor back to the show."

Last month, it was announced the Jackson family - Carol (Lindsey Coulson), Sonia (Natalie Cassidy), Robbie (Dean Gaffney) and Billie - would return to Albert Square as part of the soap's 25th anniversary celebrations.
