SOAP legend Patsy Palmer has shared a sweet throwback picture of her kissing her ex-EastEnders co-star Martine McCutcheon.

The flame-haired actress, famous for playing Bianca Jackson on the BBC soap, called for her pal's character Tiffany Mitchell to be brought back from the dead.

The snap – which was taken back in the nineties when the pair were two of the biggest soap stars in the country – shows the friends sharing a peck on the lips.

Meabwhile, cheeky Patsy can also be seen slipping a hand down Martine's top and grabbing her boob.

LA-based Patsy, 46,  who will soon reprise her iconic role as Bianca Jackson in the soap, posted the picture on her Instagram account and captioned it: "Maybe they should bring Tiffany back from the dead …."

The message prompted a flurry of excitement from fans who would love to see the pair reunited on the BBC soap.

"Oh my that would be fabulous if they did!" posted one excited follower.

Another commented: "They actually could and she could of been living with you all this time lol."

Of course, EastEnders fans are counting the days until Patsy's new scenes hit our screens after it was announced back in May that she would be coming back after a five year break from the show.

Her return is a key signing for new show boss Kate Oates.

EastEnders viewers will see Bianca, who made her debut 25 years ago, reunited with troubled daughter Tiffany, played by Maisie Smith.

Patsy joined EastEnders in 1993, left in 1999, and returned for a second stint in 2008 before quitting again in 2014.

Bianca has always been one of the most beloved characters on the long-running programme – the redhead's wedding to Ricky Butcher, played by Sid Owen, in 1997 drew one of the biggest soap audiences ever, with more than 22 million tuning in.

As for Martine, 43, she became the nation's sweetheart when she joined EastEnders a year after Patsy in 1994, and fans of the show were hooked on her rocky relationship with Grant Mitchell.

But these same viewers were in floods of tears when Tiffany was tragically killed off on New Year's Eve 1998.

Her character was hit by a car driven by Frank Butcher as she fled The Vic following a row with hubby Grant.

After Tiffany met her maker, Martine embarked on a pop career, topping the charts with her debut single Perfect Moment. She also made a name for herself in the West End, winning an Olivier Award for My Fair Lady before hitting the big screen in Love Actually.

Both Patsy and Martine have also tried their luck in America since their soap days. Patsy has based herself in Malibu, California in recent years, where she has juggled smaller acting gigs with a new career as a DJ, while Martine signed a deal with US TV network NBC.

Unfortunately, a Hollywood career failed to materialise for the Hackney-born star. These days she's back home, happily married to singer hubby Jack McManus and, workwise, has busied herself with a stint on the Loose Women panel and flogging Activia yogurts.

So we're sure Martine would jump at the chance to reunite with her old pal Patsy in Albert Square, and while it might be quite the stretch for soap bosses to resurrect Tiffany from the dead, stranger things have certainly happened in soap land…
