EastEnders have released an explosive new trailer full of big surprises.

We can expect courtroom drama, a child grooming plot and a comeback for two major character's.

The trailer starts with Ruby Allen nervously walking into court and facing her attackers Matt and Ross.

She says: "The evidence I shall give shall be the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth."
