Cheryl Fergison has come up with a great way to get Heather Trott back on EastEnders – a Walking Dead-style spinoff.

Her character may have been killed off a few years back, though Cheryl reckons that all the show's departed characters should rise from the dead.

"MY idea u hear it 1st so if anyone nicks the idea u know 'twas mine ! DeadEnders. A soap with all Enders dead characters now think on that 1," the actress wrote on Twitter.

Heather and the likes of Peggy Mitchell as zombies? Count us in.

Cheryl's character made her last appearance in 2012 when Ben Mitchell unintentionally killed her.

But Heather made a surprise appearance in voiceover last Christmas, after Dot Branning found an old tape recording in her launderette.

Heather had made a special Christmas mixtape alongside Shirley, and Cheryl was credited for her voice cameo.

"Hello Mrs Branning, its Heather here," her voice said. "I was going to get you a present, but me and Shirl got drunk on woo woos, and I spent all my cash."

She then played Wham!'s 'Last Christmas', which led Dot to get very emotional.

EastEnders airs on BBC One.
