Gillian Taylforth showed off her youthful visage as she filmed dramatic new scenes for EastEnders on Wednesday.
The soap star, 69, looked sensational as she filmed tense wedding scenes for the BBC show nearly four decades after joining the cast.
It is believed to be George Knight’s (Colin Salmon) nuptials, which are set to be plagued with drama, as old flame Cindy Beale (Michelle Collins) declares he shouldn’t tie the knot with his fiancée Elaine Peacock (Harriet Thorpe).
The actress, who has starred as Kathy Beale since 1985, showed off her age-defying looks in a bright pink outfit as she was spotted in the churchyard between scenes.
Gillian showcased her figure in the long dark purple and hot pink floral dress with matching pink jacket.

Between takes the star was seen sipping from a water bottle and walking around in a pair of Ugg boots with a quilted black bag thrown over her shoulder.
The blonde beauty had her hair up in a stylish bun with a pink feathered hair clip and seemed in good spirits as she walked around set, chatting with cast and crew.
Later on in the day the star bundled up in a thick winter padded coat as she walked over to a grassy spot on set.
Gillian recently revealed her beauty secrets that have left her looking younger than her on-screen son Ian Beale, played by Adam Woodyatt.
The former Celebrity Big Brother contestant previously said that she keeps her slim figure with regular exercise including workout sessions at home where she hops on a bike or uses a running machine.
The Bill actress revealed that she focuses on a healthy diet and starts every day with a up of hot water and fresh lemon to cleanse her system.
The star told The Mirror that she eats lots of fruit and vegetables and tries to limit her alcohol intake.
She told the publication that she loves salad and even admitted that she no longer eats potatoes.
She said: ‘We don’t eat many potatoes in our house – I’m a fruit bat and ‘veggieholic’.

The star added that she doesn’t like to eat late unless she’s going out for dinner and will indulge in a glass of wine on the odd occasion.
And all of these tips and tricks have allowed the sexagenarian to stay at a eight-and-a-half-stone.
Gillian also takes pride in her skin care and uses various anti-ageing serums and has vowed never to go under the knife.
In 2015 the actress opted for a ‘non-surgical face lift’ ahead of her 60th birthday.
The Hollyoaks star was treated by Dr Aamer Khan at the Harley Street Skin Clinic – and opted for procedure which uses dissolvable thread to remove wrinkles.
During the procedure, which costs around £1,500 and takes about half an hour, a thread made of polylactic acid is drawn through the skin after injections of local anaesthetic.
The thread is used to give a tailor-made result, lifting specific parts of the face.
And Gillian is not the only EastEnders star who has undergone a transformation.
Letitia Dean continued to showcase her impressive weight loss during filming on Wednesday.
The actress who plays Sharon Mitchell showed off her eye-catching new hairstyle as she headed into the church to film George Knight’s big day.
Over the last few years, Letitia has prioritised her health and well-being and has cut out one of her bad habits.
While her total weight loss is undisclosed, in January the actress said she’d gone from 10st 4lbs to 8st 3lbs, dropping a reported four dress sizes in just four months.
Letitia admitted she tried ‘faddy diets’ in the past which never worked but after ditching junk food she has now started to feel better.
Speaking to Closer, the soap star said: ‘It was incredible. I found I had so much more energy than when I used to eat junk food.’

Now Letitia has made long-term changes and enjoys ‘grilled skinless chicken’ and ‘lots of greens’.
She said: ‘The main reason I wanted to do something about my figure was that I was so sick of extreme dieting and my weight yo-yoing.
‘I just woke up one morning, and I’d had enough. For years and years – as long as I can remember – my weight had yo-yoed up and down. I’d go on fad diets like Atkins or I’d only eat eggs.’
Letitia noted that she did ‘lose a stone in a couple of weeks on a yoyo diet’ but admitted it is not sustainable and she quickly slipped back into her old ways.
