EastEnders star Cheryl Fergison, who played Heather Trott, has said she would like to return as her alter-ego’s long-lost twin.
Cheryl played Heather on the BBC soap from 2007 until 2012, when she was killed by Ben Mitchell.
But although Heather is dead, Cheryl has a plan which could see her come back to the show.
Appearing on Loose Women, the actress said: “They could bring Cheryl back as Heather but it wouldn’t be Heather. I had this idea when I first came out of it that possibly they could bring me back as Heather’s long-lost twin.
“There are feasible sort of storylines because Heather’s mum was really awful and used to sell babies with Babe, very strange.
“So I thought ‘oh yeah I could come back as Heather’s long-lost twin’ and be played by me, the same actress. I thought EastEnders could have grabbed that but it didn’t happen. And you know what? I live up north now so it’s moving on and up.

Speaking about launching a singing career Cheryl said: “I mean I play guitar.
“I love Ed [Sheeran] and Lewis’s [Capaldi] songs and I sort of write songs myself. I have always done it but I’ve never gone into a studio. No one’s ever asked me to go into a studio and do an album and do anything like that I’ve always wanted to.
