BARBARA Windsor, right, will return to EastEnders this summer. The actress said she was "over the moon" to be rejoining the cast two years after a debilitating illness forced her to quit.

EastEnders bosses have promised her some dramatic storylines when her character Peggy Mitchell arrives back in Albert Square. Windsor, 66, left the BBC1 soap in March 2003 after she was struck down by the Epstein-Barr virus.
