EastEnders fans convinced they know who Teddy Mitchell’s secret ex-wife as he tries to court Sharon Watts

Soap fans are convinced they know who Teddy Mitchell’s (Roland Manookian) secret wife is. Billy Mitchell’s long lost brother recently arrived in Albert Square after their father Stevie suffered a heart attack and ended up in hospital. 

Teddy has decided to stay close to his family along with sons Harry and Barney. He has mentioned his ex-wife a few times but not yet revealed her name. Over the past few weeks Teddy has been trying to woo Sharon Watts (Letitia Dean) and the pair have had a few conversations about his ex-partner. 

After Sharon asked if his ex-wife had been treated badly he responded: “No the opposite, I loved her to death, but she was toxic for me. I’m telling you, we would just row, proper rows that would go on for hours.”

EastEnders recently confirmed Chrissie Watts will be returning to the BBC One soap after 19 years and fans think she could be the secret ex-wife. Chrissie (Tracy-Ann Oberman) was sent to jail for murdering Dirty Den Watts - Sharon’s father. 

Soap fans took to X to share their EastEnders predictions. One fan wrote: “Theory: suppose Chrissie IS connected to Teddy is like an ex girlfriend/wife as she did have own life before she met Dirty Den in Spain or she's the mother of one of his sons, probably Barney?"

Another added: “What if Teddy’s wife is Chrissie Watts and she turns up at his engagement with Sharon?”

EastEnders airs Monday to Thursday from 7.30pm on BBC One or BBC iPlayer.
