Soap fans rejoice, it has been announced that Barbara Windsor, who plays the iconic Peggy Mitchell, will return to Walford as part of the show's 30th anniversary celebrations.
Matriarch Peggy Mitchell last made an appearance on the show in September to let her son Phil know she was not happy about his marriage to Sharon Watts.
Speaking about her return for the 30th anniversary celebrations Windsor said: "I am absolutely thrilled that Peggy has been included in the celebrations to mark the 30th anniversary of EastEnders.
"What an incredible achievement for all the production, cast and crew, past and present."
EastEnders executive producer Dominic Treadwell-Collins added: "Barbara and Peggy are intrinsically linked with EastEnders and when we planned our explosive anniversary episodes, Peggy was the first name on our list of hoped-for returns.
"Barbara has not only created one of EastEnders' most iconic characters but she's also hugely loved and missed by everyone here. We couldn't celebrate 30 years of EastEnders without Barbara Windsor."
Windsor joined EastEnders as the landlady of the Queen Vic in 1994 and went on to become one of the soaps most loved characters. She left Walford in 2010.
