Jack Branning appears to do Phil Mitchel a big favour in the next few weeks, as he claims to have found his long lost daughter Louise.

Phil had always assumed that Lisa and Louise were thousands of miles away, but copper Jack pulls some strings and finds the pair in south London.

A show insider tells The Daily Star: “It’s the one thing Phil has always wanted – his kids around him.

“He’s already got Ben and now he wants to complete the set by bringing Louise back. And of course Peggy is backing him 100 per cent.”

But it seems Jack’s reasons for helping his enemy are not so innocent after all.

The insider added: “Jack’s not going to do something for Phil out of the kindness of his heart.

“There will definitely be another motive. It’s just a case of waiting to see what it is.”
