EastEnders viewers are convinced they know the identity of Teddy Mitchell's former partner as the mystery surrounding the newbie's love-life continues.

Billy's half-brother recently arrived in Walford alongside his two sons Harry and Barney. After getting reacquainted with the Mitchells, Teddy has wasted no time in flirting with Sharon Watts.

Last week, Teddy enjoyed a drink with Sharon in The Queen Vic where he touched on his relationship with his former partner. He told her: "No, honestly, me and my ex, we can't even be in the same room together, let alone run a business", as Sharon replied: "Treated you that bad, did she?"

Teddy quickly chipped in: "No the opposite, I loved her to death, but she was toxic for me. I'm telling you, we would just row, proper rows that would go on for hours."

He then added: "But what can I say? I do like a woman with a bit of fire in her belly. Guilty as charged", before pretending his wrists were in handcuffs.

Teddy has so far failed to divulge any more information about his ex-wife, including the identity of the mother of his two sons.

However, some EastEnders fans think Teddy's ex-wife is Chrissie Watts as the Walford legend's return is confirmed.

The no-nonsense character was a regular on the BBC One soap from 2004 until 2005 - but left a long lasting impact on Sharon.

As the wife of Dirty Den, Chrissie became a fan favourite and appeared in 218 episodes. During her stint in Albert Square, Chrissie was the landlady of the Queen Vic and featured in numerous storylines - but she is mostly remembered for killing husband Den.

Chrissie, along with Sam Mitchell and Zoe Slater took on evil Den, leading to his violent death.

Chrissie bowed out of the Square in 2005 when she was sent to prison for Den's murder. But 19 years on, and the soap icon is heading back to Walford later this year for a short stint, and some fans believe Teddy is the reason she will return.

Taking to X (formerly Twitter), one fan wrote: "Theory: suppose Chrissie IS connected to Teddy is like an ex girlfriend/wife as she did have own life before she met Dirty Den in Spain or she’s the mother of one of his sons probably Barney?"

A second added: "What if Teddys wife is Chrissie Watts’s and she turns up at his engagement with Sharon #EASTENDERS". A third exclaimed: "Teddy’s ex wife is gonna be Chrissie isn’t it #EastEnders."

"I bet any money that Teddy's ex is someone who we've already met. Could it be Chrissie Watts? #EastEnders #ChrissieWatts", chimed in another.

"I’m literally shook. Maybe she’s married to Teddy? and her and Sharon are gonna go to war again Is she the mum of the kids. #EastEnders", added another.

One fan stated: "What if teddys wife is Chrissie Watts’s and she turns up at his engagement with Sharon #EASTENDERS."
