Barbara Windsor will return to EastEnders next year for one of the show's 30th anniversary specials.
Windsor will be reprising her role as Peggy Mitchell for one episode as part of EastEnders' anniversary week.
Viewers last saw Peggy Mitchell make a surprise appearance in a September episode to express displeasure with son Phil's impending marriage to Sharon Watts.
"I am absolutely thrilled that Peggy has been included in the celebrations to mark the 30th anniversary of EastEnders," Windsor has said of her return to the programme.
"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."
What do we think?

Could a Mitchell have killed Lucy?!
Terrible news. To think I stayed up for this.
She's more like a recurring character these days lol.
Awwww bless him, Christmas has come early for him this year.
I cannot get interested in a return for Peggy tbh. I was hoping for Steven Beale whose return would have made sense rather than them shoehorning in the old has been.
Peggy to the spider in her bath: "Gerr outta my tub!"
Peggy at a Bob Marley concert: "Gerr outta my dub!"
Peggy to Morgan
Gerr offa my Grub
Interestingly, DTC does hint that they may be other returns on the cards.
I dont think a permanent return would work tbh
Will she be appearing in Walford or from her home in Portugal again?
I've given up hoping for Chrissie and Vikki. Probably be Minty and Dan Ferreira who finally got his visa sorted.
You can just imagine the look of snooty disdain!
