In real life, Jarrod is engaged to reality star and former Love Island winner Dani Dyer, whose father is none other than Danny Dyer.
Therefore Jarrod’s appearance poses the very interesting idea that in the EastEnders universe, both Mick Carter and Danny Dyer exist.
Not only did the couple receive an unannounced visit from former characters Minty Peterson and Garry Hobbs, but Billy also got video message that blurred the lines between the real world and the fictional Walford universe.
The 28-year-old star shared scenes with her real-life dad, playing a pregnant taxi driver called Jeanette, who drove Mick to wife Linda Carter’s (Kellie Bright) pregnancy scan.
‘And so I think, because I’m not coming back for 40th I think I missed the boat – it needs to be something special, I think, for Mick to come back.’.
