By now you would have heard that Peggy Mitchell is returning to EastEnders for a final farewell, as her legendary character will be killed off.
And you will also have heard that Ross Kemp is coming back to Albert Square to reprise his role as Peggy’s son Grant, putting the Mitchell brothers together again on screen once more.
Of course, EastEnders fans would have been disappointed if all of Peggy’s children didn’t turn up for her last episodes, but luckily it was confirmed earlier in the year that Danniella Westbrook would also be returning as Peggy’s daughter Sam Mitchell.
Which will bring the original cast of Mitchell siblings back together again.
Eep!
We’ve already revealed a first look at some of Barbara’s scenes as the beloved Walford character, but Danniella has now confirmed she’s officially back on the set of the BBC One soap.
Taking to Instagram, the 42 year old wrote: “First day back at work .. And loving every second”.
Despite rumours that Danniella will be staying on our screens for a more permanent role after her six year absence from the soap, it has only been confirmed that she will appear in a few episodes so far.
As well as being back on EastEnders, which has clearly made Danniella very happy, she has also been jetting off with her 24 year old boyfriend George Arnold.
And one recent post to Twitter has had fans speculating that the couple might be engaged, as Danniella added a ring emoji to this tweet:
However, Danniella replied to the speculation by tweeting Celebs Now saying: “We did shop for a ring … BUT we are not engaged as yet.
“Yes we do live together & we are very happy but no date 4 a wedding yet”.
It seems like the blonde beauty is in a much happier place in her life now, after a few difficult years ..
What do you think about Danniella returning to EastEnders as Sam Mitchell?
