In an Instagram post, the BBC said: "Although Duncan’s time in Walford is short-lived, his arrival is sure to ruffle feathers as his past romantic history with Sharon comes to light."

What is his relationship with Sharon in EastEnders?

Sharon developed feelings for Duncan after she began going to the church because of her parents Den (Leslie Grantham) and Angie Watts' (Anita Dobson) turbulent marriage.

Much to the shock of her parents, Sharon started a relationship with Ducan and the pair even got engaged.

However, Sharon called off the marriage when Duncan was offered a new job at a parish in Wiltshire.

Heartbroken Duncan repeatedly asked her to marry him several more times.

He finally accepted that their relationship was over and left Walford in 1989.

EastEnders airs Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday evenings at 7.30 pm on BBC One.
