EASTENDERS fans are in shock after Rocky’s long-lost wife arrives in Walford.
The missing spouse – who is played by Allo Allo legend Vicki Michele in the BBC soap – turned up tonight after being tracked down by Freddie Slater.
EastEnders fans were treated to the arrival of Jo Cotton in The Square

She said: “I’m so excited to be in EastEnders and everyone has been so lovely.
“Jo Cotton is a great character and it is such a great story. I can’t wait for the audience to meet her.”
In tonight’s episode Rocky was forced to come clean to Kathy Beale about his wife’s existence.
He had lied and not told her about being married before leading to Kathy rushing into booking their wedding.
Realising he could be committing bigamy if he went through with it, he sat Kathy down and confessed.
But she was devastated.
As Kathy ended her relationship with Rocky, kicking him out of her life for good, she was in for a shock.
With Rocky licking his wounds across the Square he was horrified to discover that Freddie had not only found Jo – but contacted her and summoned her to Albert Square.
Jo turned up on Kathy’s doorstep and told her: “Hi, I’m looking for Rocky. I’m Jo, Josephine Cotton. Is my husband in?”
Kathy was stunned – as were fans.
One wrote: “Kathy drinking the wine and ripping up the wedding invitations. Then Rocky’s wife Jo turns up! Messy messy.”
A second said: “Kathy coming face to face with Rocky’s ‘Wife’!”
Another added: “KATHY DUFF DUFF!”
Rocky had previously confessed all to a furious Kathy
