Former S Club 7 star Hannah Spearritt will arrive in Walford again as she reprises the role of Karen Taylor’s sister, Kandice.
Kandice was last seen at Christmas when Karen paid her a visit to ask her for money after getting into financial difficulty.
This time it’s Kandice who wants Karen’s help and she arrives in the Square because she is meant to be taking part in a charity event organised by her golf club, but she doesn’t want to do it.

The sisters bicker but eventually Karen gives in an agrees to help Kandice with her plan and the Taylors rope Tiffany in to help too.
Later Kandice goes to great lengths to avoid her charity commitments and while Karen initially refuses to help anymore she steps in when she sees her sister’s ridiculous attempts.
But Kandice panics when her plan starts to fall apart and she ends up bickering with Karen again.
Kandice’s ‘brilliant’ return was teased back in May when Lorraine Stanley who plays Karen spoke out about Hannah’s return.
Lorraine told Digital Spy: “It’s a really silly and really fun storyline.
“She comes back and it’s really camp and funny. Amid all the darker stuff, you need some comedy and Kandice coming back brings that.
“We’re filming that at the moment and it’s brilliant.”
It was revealed earlier this year how the singer had impressed bosses with her first stint and invited to return.
A source told The Sun at the time: “Bosses were really impressed with Hannah’s talent and energy.
“She went down well with fans and created a great buzz around the show. She has a positive, hard-working attitude, which was infectious.

“If she continues to prove popular, she could be a more permanent fixture. Plus her chemistry with the other actors works really well.”
