Lola and Jay then banished Emma from Albert Square in fear of being abandoned again. 

However, Kensit is now expected to return to EastEnders for the funeral of Lola where she talks to Honey, reports The Mirror. 

Alongside Kensit’s return, Lola’s husband Jay is seen to be struggling with her death as he turns to alcohol at The Vic. 

Lola’s funeral will air on BBC One and BBC iPlayer on Tuesday 27 June.
