'EastEnders' favourite Kat, who is due to return to the soap with husband Alfie next month, is reportedly set to announce that she is expecting a baby.
The couple, played by actors Jessie Wallace and Shane Richie, are to come back to Albert Square after a five-year absence to help rebuild the Queen Vic, which is to be destroyed by a fire.
But it remains unclear whether Alfie Moon is the father of Kat's unborn baby…
A source told The Mirror: “Fans know Kat and Alfie have been on an American road trip but not much else while they were away.
“It’s clear that although she is going to have a baby, not everything has gone completely according to plan in the last five years.”
Kat and Alfie were last seen in the soap on Christmas Day back in 2005, when they were setting off on their American adventure.
The source commented: “Kat and Alfie are two of the most popular characters, everyone is excited.”
