EASTENDERS star Kellie Bright broke down in tears after Danny Dyer left the soap opera.
The actress, who arrived in the series in 2013 alongside Danny, playing the role of his wife Linda, confessed to having a hard time saying goodbye to him.

Dyer, 45, revealed earlier this year that he will be leaving Albert Square permanently after nine years.
With her final scenes airing on Christmas Day alongside Linda, Kellie revealed there were a lot of tears.
The 46-year-old said: “I had a lot of tears on and off screen!
“Anyway, I suck at goodbyes and I hate change. It feels like a massive end of an era.
“Having someone in your daily life for nine years and then having to say goodbye to them is tough. I still talk to Danny all the time, and I will still see him, but it won’t be the same.
Kellie went on to say that it didn’t really hit her that Danny was leaving for good when a montage of the “best bits” played at his going away party.
“There were things we had forgotten, and it was such a reminder of what we did together,” she said.
“It was amazing to see, we told so many stories and we were such a team. One of the hardest things I found this year was Mick and Linda splitting up. I would have liked Mick and Linda more together.
Danny’s final scenes saw the Mick Carter seemingly drown at sea after the car his wife Janine was driving plunged into the water.
Mick had managed to rescue Janine and her unborn child, then returned to the water for his ex-wife Linda.
But Linda had already managed to free herself from the car and became hysterical when Mick failed to resurface from the water.
EastEnders will air the fallout from Mick’s departure in tonight’s episode, which was “leaked” online this morning, leaving fans furious.
