Mike ReidMike ReidMike Reid, aka Frank Butcher, will forever be one of our fave EastEnders.

And the Showbiz world has been shocked by his unexpected death.

Mike collapsed at his luxury villa in Marbella, Spain on Sunday and had died by the time he reached hospital.

Just days before he'd got a clean bill of health from his doctor.

Mike's agent revealed that the star's wife, Shirley, is traumatised.

He said: "She just doted on him.

"This is a bolt from the blue.

"He will be sadly missed."

His fellow Enders co-star and one-time on-screen love, Barbara Windsor, told the Daily Mirror: "It's very sad, I was just talking about the old rascal and we were wondering if he was going to pop back to EastEnders like he used to."
