'EastEnders' fans are set to see Grant Mitchell return to Walford - with a stunning Brazilian wife in tow.

Hard man Grant, played by 40-year-old actor Ross Kemp, briefly returned to Albert Square in a sensational comeback storyline last year.

He left for Rio just before Christmas after helping to free sister Sam from jail, but is coming back to Walford later this spring.

When he arrives, Grant's friends and family are thrilled to see he has tied the knot with a Brazilian beauty, who will be played by actress Christianne Olivera.

The pair will stay in Albert Square for four months before jetting back to South America.

A show source claims Christianne - who starred in ITV drama 'Night And Day' - is perfect as Grant's love interest.

The insider said: "Christianne is fantastic - and she really is Brazilian."
