After that ghostly Heather Trott comeback at Christmas, EastEnders star Cheryl Fergison has been thinking up more ways to get back onto the soap - and she's come up with another rather ingenious suggestion.

Heather Trott was shockingly killed off by Ben Mitchell unintentionally back in 2012 and her Christmas voiceover appearance last year marked the character's first appearance since then, which seems to have given actress Cheryl the EastEnders bug again.

Speaking on Loose Women, Cheryl reflected on her time on the soap and revealed a new idea: "It's a shame that Heather went - I keep suggesting I should come back as her twin sister."


She then added, in a distinctly Scottish accent: "I think she should be called Leather Trott from Scotland!"

Cheryl also opened-up about her cameo over Christmas, in which she appeared alongside Shirley on a tape discovered by Dot Branning in her launderette.

"This was just bizarre," the actress explained. "I was doing panto this year, but before I started I was lucky enough to go back to EastEnders and record with Linda Henry.

"It was quite sad and quite poignant, and we did this thing for Dot – she was leaving the launderette and she had a cassette that was us. On it, Heather was a great George Michael fan, so am I, and basically I was talking about George."
