EastEnders star Kellie Bright has revealed she wants Linda and Mick Carter to have a lavish wedding and wear a dress like Katie Price.

Linda and Mick (Danny Dyer) have been going through a rocky patch as Linda was raped by family member Dean Wicks and has since found out she is pregnant and doesn’t know who the father is.

But Mick is planning to propose on Christmas Day as a way of getting their relationship back on track, as though they have been together for years and have three kids, they have never officially tied the knot.

Kellie revealed: “I would love them to go abroad because I think the obvious thing would be for them to have a big fat gypsy wedding, but I think the abroad thing would be really nice because they have been together for so long. I can see them doing something ridiculously romantic like eloping, where it is just about them and their children, although goodness only knows what we will end up with!

“What I imagine in my head if they ever did get married, is Linda in a Katie Price-style dress. Remember that pink princess dress she wore? That is what I imagine in my head.”

When Linda arrived in Albert Square a year ago she was bright and bubbly. Kellie admitted the change in her character caused by the trauma had been hard, but she sees a brighter year on the horizon.

Kellie explained: “I think when the story is not there so much, there will be room for other things to come back. When they told me about this storyline I said, ‘I feel like I am mourning my Linda’ because this is something that will change her forever. One of my big questions to the woman I spoke to from Rape Crisis was, ‘Would she get past it? Would she be able to be OK and carry on?’

“She said, ‘Absolutely, she would absolutely be able to get through it if she has good support around her. She is someone that doesn’t come from a history of abuse and this is a one-off random thing that has happened in an otherwise happy life. Women can get past it – it might take a while, but it is not something that you necessarily will have to carry around. You will never undo it, but you can get over it essentially’.”
