Danny Dyer has spoken out after the explosive EastEnders Christmas Day special, teasing fans that Mick Carter is alive and well.

The 45-year-old actor shared a video of himself lounging on a tropical beach as he addressed the dramatic scenes after his beloved character Mick appeared to drown. Joking with fans, the father-of-three joked it has been a 'c*** of a swim' as he shared a hilarious video with fans.

The soaps festive special saw Mick dive into the Dover Strait of the English Channel to save his beloved ex-wife Linda, played by Kellie Bright, and the evil Janine, played by Charlie Brooks. The dramatic scenes unfolded just one day after Mick and Janine's wedding, as her staging of the car crash earlier in the year – to frame Linda for being behind the wheel – was finally exposed at the Christmas table.

As Albert Square celebrated Christmas, Linda and Mick tearfully agreed to give their marriage another go, as he told the publican she was the love of his life. Following a car chase between the trio, Linda managed to get into Janine's car and attempt to take over the wheel before the duo drove the car off the road and into the Channel waters.

Mick was last seen jumping in and diving down to the car wreckage, where he saved Janine first before jumping back in the water to save Linda. Unaware that Linda had escaped the wreckage herself and made it to shore, Mick never returned leaving her distraught.

Trying poke fun at the situation following the emotional scenes, Danny shared a video from an unknown exotic location telling fans Mick's just 'having a rest'.

Sitting on a sun lounger in his swimming trunks, Danny said: "Don't worry, I know it was emotional last night. It was a very nutty episode, but don't be concerned
