‘Sukeve reveal day,’ she wrote. ‘The secret is out! Nish knows! I love this story and the time and care that’s been taken by all the team @bbceastenders.
“Suki’s story has resonated with so many from what I’ve seen. The representation has meant a lot too through Eve presenting the way she does. So many thanks to the writers and producers for playing this story out in real time.
‘It’s been a precious thing, certainly for me, having not seen a love story like this when I was growing up.
‘I feel blessed to have worked alongside so many beautiful actors too who also care about storytelling.’

We’ll just have to keep watching to find out what happens next!
