Pam St. Clement wants to launch her own range of Pat Butcher earrings.
The 75-year-old actress portrayed the flamboyant matriarch – known for her extensive collection of elaborate drop jewels – in ‘EastEnders’ from 1986 until her alter ego was killed off in 2011 and, although she’s now moved on, she’d love to create something in memory of her well-loved character.
Speaking to the Daily Star newspaper, she said: "I love the idea of having my own earrings on sale. It would be great to do that, especially as those sorts of earrings are coming back – the biggies! They’re much more in fashion now. And it’s very true to say Pat was known for her earrings. I’d want them to be bling – the bigger the better and the shinier the better. I’ve never been asked to front a range, but I should have been. I would have accepted that opportunity."
Fans recently saw Pam smoke cannabis for her new travel show ‘Gone To Pot’, which she filmed with Linda Robson, Christopher Biggins and John Fashanu, in the US.
She said recently: "We were taken to this warehouse . . . there were easels, tables and chairs. We jumped in with both feet and sat down and started to paint this cactus.
"The guy came round with this joint and I took a puff, and [dart player Bobby George] took a puff then we got on with this painting. I thought, ‘Oh well this a terrible painting and I don’t know what to do with it’. I made it into an alien in the end. It wasn’t a cactus at all.
"This person came along with a glass bowl thing with a pipe and a stem with an open top, like a mini bong, it was very delicate and she gave it to Linda then to me and she said, ‘Take a puff’. So I took a puff and she said, ‘Oh that’s enough, that’s enough’ and I thought, ‘Oh my God, this must be powerful’. I passed it on to Bobby and within five to ten minutes me and Bobby were virtually on the floor laughing it was so funny. I love it when you get the giggles when you shouldn’t. It’s wonderful — just crying we were – so refreshing to do that, it really is."
