Speaking exclusively to The Sun, he said: 'Is It's always sad when you finish the job.
'It's a massive shame to say goodbye to the character and not going to be able to play him anymore but to be fair, I didn't think I'd ever get a chance to play him again.
'So I'm very happy that the opportunity come around to come back and bring the character back and is quite interesting ending so I'm quite satisfied.'
Viewers watched today and discovered that the Robbie they'd seen over the past few months, trapped in serial killer Jez Blake's shed, was actually a vision in Jez's head.

'It has been so lovely going back and I've done everything I wanted to do and it worked out brilliantly and that is the only seeing if I was being really greedy I would've loved to have done it but to the contract just didn't fall over that that time and date which is a shame because I was there for the 21st and I was 21 and I'm 30 now I'd love to be the 30th.
'But I knew that would only be at least three months and then I got to come back for a year and I knew it knew it gonna be a year.

'But we didn't know what the end was gonna be. I haven't really thought about it the whole time to be honest I just assume because the character is gonna come back maybe I just do the same thing again.
'He was every time I have to leave to do another job or have a bit of a break or ever will be always kind of went on the run so I assumed we might go on the run again.

'I'm really pleased that's just not the same old and that because he means it's a little bit different and little bit special.
'And I don't know if it's been done before it might have certainly not something I've seen or done so I think actually to close the door on it in a way that you know it was very different and a bit of a risk.'

JB Gill drops HUGE hint that JLS star has signed up for Strictly
JB has opened up to The Sun about the new series after starring on it last year JB Gill has dropped a huge hint that a JLS star has signed up for Strictly, as he opened up on the new series. The 38-year-old was a finalist in the popular BBC series last year, being pipped to the post by comedian Chris McCausland. Advertisement 5 JB Gill has dropped a huge hint that a JLS star has signed up for Strictly, as he opened up on the new series Credit: Shutterstock Editorial 5 JB and his JLS bandmates Credit: Getty 5 Aston Merrygold took part in 2017 Credit: BBC Now, JB has opened up to The Sun about the new series, telling us that he actually knows a couple of the contestants. The star said: 'Without spoiling anything for anyone, I actually know a couple of the contestants who are going to be on it.' Quizzed as to whether or not they'd be his JLS bandmembers, JB went on: 'Well I don't think Oritsé is doing it, and Marv would do it but he'd probably forget his routine by the time it got round to Saturday.' There has been a lot of speculation as to whether or not the remaining two JLS stars will take part, with both Marvin Humes and Oritsé Williams yet to do the show. Advertisement Aston Merrygold took part in 2017 and was partnered with Janette Manrara. He was considered a favourite to win, but was shockingly eliminated in week seven. JB expressed his disbelief that it had nearly been a year since he'd taken part in the dance contest, with it set to return in the autumn. Speaking on behalf of car insurance brand Tempcover, JB continued: 'I'd encourage people to have fun on the show as ultimately that's what it's all about. It is a competition, yes, but you're learning a new skill and it helps not to take it too seriously. Advertisement 'You're never going to be a professional in the amount of time you've got to learn the style of routine and the dance. I had fun and I never ever imagined getting to the final, especially with all the challenges I had last year.' JB took to the dancefloor with Lauren Oakley in the end, despite initially being partnered with Amy Dowden. Strictly's JB Gill breaks silence on 'tough time' for Wynne Evans after Strictly Tour axe – & admits 'I hope he bounces back' Due to Amy's illness at the time, the star had to make the switch midway through the competition. In his interview, the dad-of-two tells us he's still very much in touch with both Amy and Lauren. Advertisement He went on: 'Being able to dance with both Lauren and Amy was great. In fact, Lauren just messaged me earlier as they've started rehearsals now for the group dances. 'She said she's in rehearsals and she's packed her bags and got five pairs of socks which is like a running joke between me and her.' JB is a busy family and career man, with no signs of stopping. Not only is the start embarking on his brand new The Club Is Alive tour with JLS in November, but JB also fronts shows like The One Show, had his CBeebies show Down on the Farm, and a cooking show with his two adorable children Ace and Chiara. Advertisement Touching on family life with his wife Chloe, JB spoke about their summer plans and the fact that they are lovers of a game of shotgun when it comes to car journeys. He said: 'Three in ten argue with their kids about who gets the front seat in the car but that just doesn't happen in my family. 'My wife is always overruling the kids, the unofficial rule is that wives overrule. But yeah, it's great working with Tempcover, because everyone plays it differently and certainly over the years when I first started driving I played shotgun with my mates and the JLS boys too.' New official rules launched by temporary car insurance brand Tempcover, backed by research and JB Gill of JLS, help end the Shotgun debate for smoother summer journeys.

Host Christine Lampard then asked him if he was "exclusive" yet with Shakira, but he brushed off the suggestion. "We haven't… So, for me, I think when we rekindled and we recoupled, I only had eyes for Shakira," Harry said. Advertisement "There's no-one else I want to get to know.
