TWO EastEnders legends have been spotted looking unrecognisable in a throwback snap weeks after one of them quit the show.

A social media post sees Danny Dyer posing next to Kellie Bright in the photo, taken when the pair were younger.

A throwback snap of two EastEnders legends was shared on social media

Kellie and Danny both starred alongside each other in the hit soap and play a married couple

Danny, now 45, could be seen wearing a black top and grinning while stood with Kellie, now 46, who was also smiling and wore her blonde locks up.

The account captioned the snap: “This picture got me,” and fans loved seeing the throwback of the soap actors.

One person wrote: “That pic said it all, mick never stopped loving her , it’s so sad he’s gone.”

Another penned: “brill pic, how did they do that, or is it a real pic,” and a third said: “Literally made me cry,love them together .”

A fourth said: “Just Love that Photo of you both Fantastic.”

Kellie arrived in the show in 2013 alongside Danny, playing the role of his wife Linda, and recently admitted she struggled to say goodbye.

Dyer revealed last year that he would be leaving Albert Square for good after nine years.

With his final scenes airing on Christmas Day alongside Linda, Kellie revealed there were lots of tears.

The 46-year-old said: “There were lots of tears on and off screen from me!

“I’m terrible at goodbyes anyway, and I hate change. It does feel like a massive end of an era.

“To have someone in your life on a daily basis for nine years and then to have to say goodbye to them is tough. I still speak to Danny all the time, and I’ll still see him, but it won’t be the same.”

Kellie went on to say that it only really hit her that Danny was leaving for good when a ‘best bits’ montage played at his leaving party.

“There was stuff we’d forgotten about, and it was such a reminder of the stuff that we’ve done 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’ve found this year was Mick and Linda being split up. I’d have loved more Mick and Linda together.”
