**Spoiler Alert** Kierston Wareing made her EastEnders debut last night (Dec25) as Max Branning's estranged wife Kirsty.
It's a secret soap fans have been dying to know for months now - just what trouble did Max Branning get himself in to when he left Walford almost 2-years ago?
Well, all was revealed last night by the arrival of EastEnders newcomer Kierston Wareing, who is playing his secret wife Kirsty.
The drama unfolded just before Max and his current fiancée, Tanya, where due to tie the knot once again, with Max about to commit bigamy.
However his bitter brother Derek had made a call to Kirsty and she showed-up at the Branning household just before the festive nuptials began.
Now that Max's secret has been revealed, Kierston is able to talk about her role for the first time. She said: "I first knew about the role when I was filming in Morocco. I was checking my emails and I had one from my agent saying, 'EastEnders want to see you when you get back'.
"I went for a meeting with [executive producer] Lorraine Newman and [series consultant] Simon Ashdown, and they offered me the role there and then. I was ecstatic, I was like, 'Yes, yes, yes!' So I knew about it from April, then everything went very, very quiet for months and to be honest I thought, 'Are you sure they still want me?!'
"Then they came back in August, just before I started filming and then it all went very quickly. I always knew I'd be arriving on Christmas Day since I got the first call, and I started filming at the end of October."
She continued: "It was really weird doing my first scene - even though I have done things before, this was a show that I have grown up with as a child. Suddenly I'm on the Square and it's very surreal and I am seeing legendary characters like Sharon, who I have grown up watching - it's bizarre. And now I know her as Tish, and we're friends.
"Then there was another moment a few weeks later when I was sitting in The Vic and June Brown walked in, and it feels like you have literally jumped into your own TV set."
To be absolutely sure that the news about her casting wouldn't be leaked, The Shadow Line Top Boy actress kept most of her loved ones in the dark about her new part.
"It has got hard the nearer it gets to the episodes going out, as it's exciting and nerve-wracking, and of course you would like to share it with people," Wareing admitted.
"But the only people who know about it apart from my agent, are my dad - but he doesn't want to know the full ins and outs as he knows I have to keep it a secret - and my brother, so it has been hard.
"I have been staying at a local hotel while I've been filming and I've been asked by people - often the taxi driver when he has dropped me off - what I am doing, and I have been telling them I am temping in the office. Or when they have seen scripts, I say I'm doing background work!"
Kirsty's arrival ends a year's worth of speculation over Max's secret, which was finally exposed thanks to the scheming antics of his older brother Derek.
An EastEnders statement teased: "Kirsty is set to cause trouble for Max and Tanya. Will Max and Tanya's relationship survive, and will Kirsty want to give up her husband? One thing's for sure, Kirsty is fiery, flirty and does what she wants."
