Fans will know that many residents believe Cindy died during childbirth in November 1998.

However, they will be met with a blast from the past next week as she returns.

It is has been reported that Cindy's first scenes back in Walford will air on Monday (August 28).

An episode synopsis for the dramatic instalment on the BBC website teases: "After 25 years away, Cindy arrives back in the square, the Knights excitedly prepare for Anna's surprise 21st birthday in the Vic, and there are fireworks as Kathy comes face to face with a ghost from her past."

Anna Knight (Molly Rainford) is unaware that her mother Rose Knight's true identity is actually Cindy Beale.

She actually went into witness protection, and in this time she met George Knight (Colin Salmon) and had two children with him, daughters Anna and Gina (Francesca Henry)

Viewers recently saw Cindy return in a twist, with her now hiding out in France with her ex-husband Ian Beale (Adam Woodyatt).

Ian has not told his family, asides their son Peter Beale (Thomas Law), that Cindy is alive and they are back together.
