Jane and Ian Beale will walk down the aisle to a song chosen by ‘EastEnders’ viewers.
The on-screen couple, played by Laurie Brett and Adam Woodyatt, are to tie the knot for a second time next month and it’s now been revealed fans of the BBC One soap will be given the chance to vote for the music they’d like to hear played during the ceremony.

‘EastEnders’ fanatics will be able to vote for their favourite out of a list of five tracks, all of which were hit singles in 1985 – the year in which the show was first broadcast.
The choices include ‘The Power of Love’ by Jennifer Rush, ‘I Want to Know What Love Is’ by Foreigner, Chicago’s ‘You’re the Inspiration’, ‘That Old Devil Called Love’ by Alison Moyet and Eurythmics’ ‘The Must be an Angel (Playing with my Heart).
