Set to reprise their roles as Christian and Linda Clarke respectively - the brother and mother of Jane Beale - the pair will be involved in a story set to change the Beale family forever.

Though bosses are staying tight-lipped about exactly what's going to happen, it's looking to be some gripping television in typical EastEnders fashion.

Christian was last seen on the soap in 2015, when he attended the wedding of Ian and Jane during the 30th anniversary live week.

Partridge says of his return: "I am thrilled to be able to return to EastEnders whilst touring the UK with Chicago... Christian is never far from my mind - I turn my back for five minutes and look what happens!"

Linda hasn't been seen on screen since February 2009, when she moved with her husband Roger to Florida.

The pair are set to make their returns early this coming summer.
