Show legend Patsy Palmer – aka Bianca Jackson – served as DJ for the special occasion.

In attendance were the likes of Louisa Lytton (Ruby Allen), Michelle Collins (Cindy Beale) and Roland Manookian (Teddy Mictchell), among others.

As for Patsy, who first played Bianca in 1993, her most recent stint in EastEnders began earlier this year.

Bianca returned for adoptive daughter Whitney’s (Shona McGarty) planned wedding to Zack Hudson (James Farrar).

Viewers were delighted when she briefly reunited with dad David Wicks (Michael French) a few months ago.

Elsewhere, she clashed with Reiss Colwell (Jonny Freeman), her sister Sonia’s (Natalie Cassidy) fiancé.

Bianca – who never took to Reiss – has accurately suspected he murdered his comatose wife Debbie.

Meanwhile, Sonia has been instead locked up in prison for the crime.

Bianca’s suspicion led Reiss taking her hostage and locking the iconic character up – with little known about her fate at this point.

Although Patsy has been filming for the BBC soap lately, she jetted home to LA after the Christmas party.

The actress and her family moved Stateside back in 2014 – with Patsy working as a DJ.

It comes as EastEnders viewers are set for explosive upcoming scenes.

This year’s Christmas special is set to see the affair between Cindy Beale and Junior Knight (Micah Balfour) finally revealed.
