Jacqueline Jossa again has EastEnders fans wondering if a return to Walford could be in the works.
The actress has been very busy since she walked away from her role as Lauren Branning in 2018, having won I'm a Celebrity and launched her own fashion range. (Not to mention her many hair transformations!)
While chatting with fans on Instagram this week, Jossa was asked about the likelihood of ever returning to Albert Square for a reunion with on-screen dad Max Branning.

"Maybe one day," she teased. "I loved my time on the show."
Jossa went on: "I absolutely love EastEnders, love the people, the production, and I absolutely love Lauren Branning with all my heart."
The new Peter Beale actor Dayle Hudson has already called for Jossa to return so that Peter and Lauren's long-running romantic connection can be revisited.
"Lauren, for Peter, is the one that got away. It was his own fault and I don't think he regrets what happened in New Zealand, but he thinks about Lauren a lot," Dayle told Digital Spy. "She is the mother of his child and also Louie is over there with her.
"I think it would be a really interesting story if she came back, especially with Louie as that would change how Peter acts towards his own family with his child present in his life."
Peter left Lauren and their son Louie back in New Zealand to return to the Square at the request of his grandmother Kathy earlier this year, so there is an open ending to the couple's relationship.
EastEnders: Secrets from the Square continues next Monday (July 27) at 8pm on BBC One with a special mother and son episode featuring Gillian Taylforth and Adam Woodyatt.
