EastEnders stars take over Ross Kemp's Bridge of Lies – first look and air date revealed
Four stars involved in the the ongoing 'who attacked Cindy?' storyline will band together on a special Celebrity edition of the game show.
Bridge of Lies is already hosted by one EastEnders legend in Ross Kemp, and the Grant Mitchell star is set to be joined by several more Albert Square favourites for a special Celebrity edition of the game show as part of the soap's 40th anniversary celebrations.
The episode will air on BBC One at 7:50pm on Saturday 15th February and will see four cast members – each of whom are involved in the the ongoing 'who attacked Cindy?' storyline – form "the ultimate Queen Vic pub quiz team" as they look to work together to win money for their chosen charities.
The stars taking part are EastEnders’ longest-serving actor, Adam Woodyatt (Ian Beale), and his on-screen ex-wife Michelle Collins (Cindy Beale), as well as Junior Knight star Micah Balfour and former Strictly runner-up Molly Rainford, who plays Junior's half-sister Anna Knight.
According to a release, each round will feature EastEnders-themed questions, with Kemp – who is also making a high-profile return to the soap for the anniversary – keeping a watchful eye over proceedings, as ever.

Kemp is especially busy during the anniversary week, as he will also be hosting an hour-long retrospective documentary titled EastEnders: 40 Years on the Square, which is set to air at 8pm on BBC One on Monday 17th February.
Meanwhile, the BBC has also revealed that another of its iconic shows will have an EastEnders takeover, with former cast members Danielle Harold (Lola Pearce) and Max Bowden (Ben Mitchell) heading to the Cotswolds in a special episode of Celebrity Antiques Road Trip.
The episode, which will air on BBC Two at 7pm on Friday 14th February, will see the pair go head-to-head to see who can uncover the most interesting antiques and make the most money at auction.
A release for the episode teases: "As is Antiques Road Trip tradition, Max and Danielle will cruise around the Cotswolds in a 1964 P1800S Volvo.
"Guided by Road Trip experts Hettie Jago and Ishy Khan, Danielle leans towards the curious in the form of mannequins and miniature binoculars, while Max embraces history and film culture with a toy from a famous spy movie."
