As the love child of teen mum Michelle Fowler and Dirty Den Watts, Vicki’s life has been beset with drama from day

EastEnders has confirmed the return of Sharon Watts' sister Vicki Fowler after her uncle Martin Fowler's sad demise on the BBC soap, but she's not the only one heading to Walford

Vicki Fowler to return to EastEnders for her uncle Martin’s funeral - It comes after Martin Fowler died of a cardiac arrest in Thursday’s live episode of the BBC soap.

Now played by Alice Haig, Vicki Fowler, who was last seen on-screen in 2004, is set to make an appearance to attend the funeral of her uncle Martin together with her boyfriend Ross (Alex Walkinshaw) and their son Joel (Max Murray). "I am so excited," Haig said of her EastEnders debut.

EastEnders fans will soon be greeted with an icon as Vicki Fowler returns to Albert Square for the first time in more than two decades.

Vicki has been living in Australia with Spencer where they ran a bar. So, when she arrives with a new man on her arm, it comes as quite the shock to sister Sharon (Letitia Dean) and Spencer’s brother Alfie (Shane Richie), who had no idea they had split.

Hot on the heels of the news that Vicki Fowler will return to EastEnders for Martin’s (James Bye) funeral, it has been confirmed that his daughter Bex will also be in attendance to say an emotional goodbye.

Fan favourite Vicki Fowler will return to Eastenders for the first time in 20 years. The character, who will now be played by Andor star Alice Haig, is the love child of teen mum Michelle Fowler (Susan Tully) and Dirty Den Watts (Leslie Grantham).

Vicki Fowler is set to make her return to EastEnders after 20 years away from Walford and she'll be bringing two new family members with her to EastEnders' Albert Square
