EastEnders fans will see the return of Ian Beale's son Peter (Ben Hardy) on Friday night's episode on BBC One and RTÉ One.

Tonight's episode sees the launch of Ian's (Adam Woodyatt) new restaurant but his plans are thrown into chaos when daughter Lucy (Hetti Bywater) confronts him about forging cheques from her account.

Radio Times reports that during the course of their argument Lucy's twin brother Peter walks in and says: "Is this a private fight or should I open the door so everyone can hear?"

New cast member Hardy is the sixth actor to play Peter Beale and said of his casting: "I can't wait to step into the shoes of a character with so much history and am looking forward to getting stuck in."
