He will shortly join EastEnders as Sonia Fowler s long-lost father.
And it has been claimed that Brian Conley took on his new soap role as his other work dried up due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.

The Sun reports that he can take home as much as £25,000 per corporate engagement and has been paid up to £120,000 for stints in high-end pantomimes.
