Preeya Kalidas has confirmed that she will reprise her role as Amira Shah in EastEnders.
The actress bowed out of the BBC soap in April 2010 after discovering her husband Syed's affair with Christian Clarke. Amira departed Albert Square without revealing her pregnancy to Syed.
Kalidas tweeted today: "To all the fans that ask me everyday.. This is for you.... She's coming back! AMIRA RETURNS!! (sic)"
An ongoing storyline sees recently-engaged Christian (John Partridge) and Syed (Marc Elliott) planning to adopt a child.
A source told The Mirror: "Amira left Walford a heartbroken woman. When she finds out Syed is planning to marry Christian she is furious. Amira is manipulative and her presence looks set to turn the lives of the Masoods upside down.
"The question is, has she moved on from her husband or will she do whatever she can to get him back? Only time will tell."
The 31-year-old actress is expected to begin filming again in a number of weeks, ahead of an on-screen return in October.
Since leaving the show, Kalidas was dropped by her record label after debut single 'Shimmy' charted at a disappointing number 85 in the UK chart.
EastEnders executive producer Bryan Kirkwood had previously teased the possible return of a former character, although it remains unclear if he was referring to Amira.
