Watch out Kathy!
Current EastEnders boss Chris Clenshaw appeared on Loose Women today to reveal some exciting news for fans of the BBC soap.
After weeks of speculation, Clenshaw revealed who Vicki Michelle will be playing when she comes on screen later in the year.
Speaking to the Loose Women panel, he said: "We do have a new character joining for a new stint - that's Rocky Cotton's (played by Brian Conley) ex wife, Jo Cotton, played by the fabulous Vicki Michelle.
"She's a hoot - the scenes with Jo and Rocky and Kathy are brilliant."
While we as viewers know Rocky has a secret he's hiding, it seems the truth might come out to Kathy very soon.
