The soap star, 45, first appeared on Albert Square as upbeat Honey in 2005 and has played the role on and off ever since.
Taking to Instagram on New Year’s Eve, the actress ditched her trademark brunette locks in favour of a ginger wig as she transformed into Spice Girls member Geri Halliwell.

There was plenty of drama over the holiday period in EastEnders, including the suspected death of Mick Carter and the reveal that 12-year-old Lily Slater is pregnant.
Following the dramatic reveal during the New Year’s Day episode, fans have already begun speculating who the father could be – and many have come to the same conclusion.

“I hope it isn’t Freddie that’s Lilly’s baby’s dad. I reckon it’s Little Ricky #EastEnders,” added another person.
Echoing these thoughts, a third speculated: “Oh what a twist. Have a feeling Nugget or young Ricky is the dad #EastEnders.”
