Just last month, Champ's character was diagnosed with breast cancer in a groundbreaking storyline.
The soap star said: "I feel honoured to be trusted with such an important storyline. We will see Stuart really struggle with the fact he has cancer, and to learn that it's breast cancer is really difficult for him to understand.
"I hope by shedding a light on male breast cancer, more men will be aware of it and seek out a doctor if they notice anything wrong."
Dany Bell, of Macmillan Cancer Support, added: "It's brilliant to see EastEnders release this very important and poignant storyline. We hope it encourages people to become more aware of the signs of breast cancer, regularly check their own chests and reach out for help if needed.
"Macmillan is here to offer advice and support to anyone impacted by the storyline and we encourage anyone experiencing signs or symptoms of cancer to visit their GP."
EastEnders airs on Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays and Fridays on BBC One.
