The beloved EastEnders actress is already due to hit our screens this autumn as a contestant on the much-anticipated and revamped Strictly Come Dancing 2026.
The Sun's source reports: "She is loved by the fans. So the fact that she’s agreed to return, even if it’s only for a handful of episodes, will come as a huge boost for the loyal viewers."
Radio Times has approached the BBC for comment on this story.
Fans will recall that Stacey departed Walford last year for a new life in Brazil, working with her brother Sean Slater (Rob Kazinsky) at his bar.
Stacey's exit episodes saw her former lover Max Branning (Jake Wood) attempt to romantically reconcile with her, but this came crashing down when his secret liaison with her cousin Zoe Slater (Michelle Ryan) came to light.
Stacey then left Walford with her youngest children, Arthur (Rocco Brenner) and Hope Fowler (Isabelle Smith), leaving eldest Lily Slater (Lillia Turner) and her baby Charli to be taken care of by Stacey's mother Jean Slater (Gillian Wright).
