16 to 25 million people tuned in on Christmas Day to watch his final scene.

Jamie Mitchell's exit from EastEnders remains one of the most watched moments in British soap history. But behind one of Britain's most recognisable faces was a story that went far deeper than the role that defined a generation. Inside the studio it was everything. Barbara Windsor. Steve McFadden. The most iconic cast in British television. Jack Ryder loved every second of it. Outside those doors was a completely different world. The frenzy. The fame. A level of recognition that had no off switch.

In this conversation Jack opens up about identity beyond the role, what the acting craft really demands, fatherhood, the little things in life we overlook and what it truly takes to keep moving forward with purpose when the industry moves fast and forgets faster.
