Adam Woodyatt says he and Michelle Collins couldn't have worked any harder to try and keep Ian and Cindy Beale's EastEnders reunion under wraps.
In epic soap scenes, which aired last night, viewers discovered Cindy is actually alive and well – despite Ian being told that she died in childbirth whilst in prison around 25 years ago.
Fans were left reeling after the news that the Walford legend – played by Michelle Collins – was sat in France having a glass of wine and she was behind the real identity of none other than Rose Knight, the estranged wife of new Queen Vic resident George Knight.
