Rudolph Walker insists that he has no plans to retire from his role as Patrick Trueman on EastEnders.

EastEnders legend Rudolph Walker has ruled out leaving the soap any time soon, insisting that he is not ready for retirement.

The 83-year-old is one of the soap's longest-serving characters, having appeared as Patrick Trueman for the last 21 years, and last year was awarded a CBE for his services to drama and charity.

Speaking about the future at the Pride of Britain awards, he told Metro: "Retiring? What's that?! No, I enjoy it, I enjoy being there, I enjoy working."

He added: "I'm sure there are going to be storylines that are going to come up, having been here for a number of years. I'm sure there are exciting things in the pipeline.

"Of course, I can't reveal if there's anything coming up!"

EastEnders continues Mondays to Thursdays at 7.30pm on BBC One.
