Teasing whats to come, she said: The Slaters coming back ruins Staceys life.

They come back, cause a load of trouble and then expect Stacey to put it all back together..

She added: When I heard they were coming back, I was very excited.

I love being around them, I love working with them and I think its lovely for Stacey to have her family back.

We are useless working together because all we do is laugh.

We spend most of our time laughing and trying to get some work done. Commenting on why people love the iconic girls, she said: I think everyone loves the Slaters because theyre just a bit nuts, arent they? They do what they want, say what they want, and go around causing trouble..

Kat turns up at her own party tonight, with everyone dressed up in leopard print and wearing red lipstick.

But could Kat be in on whatever Big Mo is up to? And if not, how will she react to people mourning her? EastEnders continues tonight at 7.30pm and 9pm on BBC One.
