All we know so far is she's reunited with Ian Beale (Adam Woodyatt) 25 years after she was killed off-screen in prison.

However, a report has emerged suggesting Ian and Cindy will be involved in a caper involving sandwiches.

According to The Sun, viewers will catch up with the pair who have been working in France, selling sandwiches, but they're not exactly popular with the locals.

A source told the newspaper: "It's not entirely clear how or when they got back together or how they ended up in France, but they seem to be a couple again.

Cindy was last seen in 1998, having joined the soap in 1988. Michelle reprised her iconic role in 2014 for a Children in Need special, The Ghosts of Ian Beale.
