The feel-good storyline was first leaked to the press last month, with reports claiming that EastEnders bosses wanted it to be the antidote to hard-hitting plots like the murder of Lucy Beale and the death of Nick Cotton.

"The winner has had their ups and downs but is a popular character. Viewers won’t begrudge them their good fortune, a source told the Mirror.
