Peggy Mitchell's love life

Peggy's love life has had its ups and downs and she's certainly picked a few wrong'uns in her time...

Her first hubby was Eric Mitchell, he was a boxer and dad to Grant, Phil and Sam. Then there was a brief dalliance with Kevin, the minicab owner. Poor old Peggy then got engaged to Harry Slater but she found out that he had raped his niece Kat so, understandably, she dumped him.

Her luck didn't get much better when she got hitched to Frank Butcher in 1999, who, as we all know, cheated on her with Pat.

Next, she became engaged to George Palmer but she soon found out about his dodgy dealings, which included an illegal gambling den in the Market Cellar, and got rid of him.

Peggy's luck seemed to change when she met Jack Edwards but it was her who threw a spanner in the works this time. He finished things with her after she refused to accept Billy and Honey's daughter, Petal, who has Down's syndrome.

Finally, came Archie Mitchell who recently became her third husband but Peggy clocked on a little too late - at their wedding reception - that he too was a nasty bit of work, and now wants him dead.

EastEnders bosses recently revealed that he was to be killed off on Christmas Day - has Peggy finally snapped?
