JACQUELINE Jossa is handcuffed by cops in a dramatic first look at Lauren Branning's explosive return to EastEnders.<\/p>\n

The 30-year-old star – who won I'm A Celebrity during her time away – returns to EastEnders with Jack Branning\u2019s daughter Penny who is back in Walford after 15 years of living abroad.<\/p>\n
And Penny – played by newcomer Kitty Castledine – is seen looking on in shock as Lauren is stopped by police in the airport terminal.<\/p>\n
Lauren is also less than pleased when she's approached by cops as a sniffer dog circles her blue hand luggage.<\/p>\n
She argues through gritted teath and fights back as burly officers grab hold of her arms.<\/p>\n
Jacqueline admitted she couldn't wait to return to filming, and told The Sun on Sunday: 'I'm really excited. <\/p>\n "It's such an amazing time to be back as there is so much buzz around EastEnders at the moment.
