EastEnders star Jacqueline Jossa has confirmed her involvement in the soap's 30th anniversary celebrations.
The actress, who plays Lauren Branning in the Walford drama, recently announced that she is expecting her first child with boyfriend Dan Osborne.
Fans had speculated that Jossa's maternity leave might lead to her missing out on EastEnders' milestone birthday episodes, but she told Digital Spy last night (September 8) that this won't be the case.
Speaking on the red carpet at the TV Choice Awards, the 21-year-old explained: "Yeah I am involved, luckily! That's one of the main things I was really worried about. I was like, 'Perfect timing, child!'"
With Lucy Beale's killer due to be unveiled in the anniversary episodes, Jossa continued: "I think I'm getting closer to the truth, but I can't really talk about it because I know more than you. I've narrowed it down and in my head I'm nearly there."
Jossa also offered her reaction to fan theories that Lauren could have been the killer's intended victim, which would mean Lucy's death being a case of mistaken identity.
She said: "I think it makes sense because they were both wearing the same clothes, they have the same initials and Lauren was supposed to be going to the letting that night.
"So it does make sense but that doesn't really help me - I don't know why somebody would be after Lauren. It'd be a good twist but I have no idea!"
Jossa also backed the decision to finally reunite Lauren and Peter Beale (Ben Hardy). The old flames have developed feelings for each other again since Lucy's murder, but look set to finally get back together later in the autumn.
She said: "We've got actually quite nice happy stuff coming up for Lauren. It's because we're finding love that's kind of been there all along but she's the only one who didn't know.
"I've been waiting for it for ages because it's been building up and building up. They've been best friends anyway, so it's quite cute. Me and Ben get on really well and it's been exciting to work together."
EastEnders' Lauren Branning is forced to act on her feelings for Peter Beale later this month when she realises he is planning to leave Walford.
Peter (Ben Hardy) has previously confessed his love to friend Lauren (Jacqueline Jossa) but she insisted on sticking with new boyfriend Dean Wicks (Matt Di Angelo), claiming that she didn't feel the same.
However as she becomes increasingly confused by her feelings, Lauren decides to end her relationship with Dean, but she is shocked when he reacts angrily and loses his temper.
Having witnessed Dean's temper, Whitney goes after Lauren, who tries to call Peter but gets no response. When Whitney suggests to Lauren that she broke up with Dean because of Peter, Lauren remains in denial over her feelings.
Elsewhere, Peter has packed his bags and hands Cindy a note to give to Ian, but when Cindy reads it, she is horrified by its contents and immediately takes it to Lauren.
The note reveals that Peter is escaping Walford for good and heading to New Zealand, causing Lauren to race off and find him.
Catching up with Peter at the station, Lauren tells Peter that she loves him and the pair kiss, but will Peter change his mind and stay?

EastEnders star Jacqueline Jossa has admitted that she is still in the dark over how she will be written out of the soap.
The 22-year-old actress, who plays Lauren Branning, is currently expecting her first child with her Only Way Is Essex star boyfriend Dan Osborne.
With secrecy currently surrounding many EastEnders storylines, Jossa has yet to be told how her temporary departure will be written into scripts - but she denied recent reports that she is planning a one-year maternity break.
"I am going to have to leave at some point to give birth, but I don't really know what will happen with my storyline. They're keeping it a secret from even me because it is that tight," Jossa told the Daily Mail.
"I don't have a clue either but I know I will be coming back. I read somewhere I was taking a year out which isn't true. I definitely want to go back."
Jossa has spent most of the year involved in EastEnders' ongoing 'Who Killed Lucy Beale?' storyline, with Lauren one of the possible suspects in the case.
More recently, Lauren was being followed by DS Bryant (Glen Wallace), one of the police detectives currently investigating the murder.
