Danny Dyer has waded into the controversy over Shamima Begum wanting to return to the UK.

The EastEnders actor said that the runaway schoolgirl should be allowed back.

He told Good Morning Britain: "I feel she needs a chance, maybe to explain what was going on. Maybe we can understand a little bit more about how they got to her and how she felt it was the right move to jump on a plane and leave this country at 15 years of age.

"She is still a young girl... Maybe we can learn from it."

He added: "I don't understand what's gone on there."
