Dirty Den's secret wife Chrissie will shock everyone by turning up in Albert Square at the end of next month.
Viewers will learn that Den got hitched during his fourteen year absence in Spain. Actress Tracey Ann Oberman has been cast in the role.
"I feel like I'm caught in a whirlwind and my feet haven't even touched the ground yet," said Oberman today. "I auditioned for EastEnders about 10 days before I actually started filming so I haven't had time to think about what this role is going to do to my life! I'm very excited to be part of such a fantastic show and one I have been a fan of for many years.
"Working opposite Leslie Grantham is wonderful and the cast and crew have been extremely welcoming and supportive. I appreciate all the help and advice that I've been given especially from Letitia, Leslie, Scarlett and Nigel who make up the Watts Family.
"I'm really excited to be playing such a strong female character in one of the best loved British soaps."
