Lisa Faulkner was "scared" about starring in ‘EastEnders’.
The 46-year-old actress had a great time in Albert Square portraying James Willmott-Brown’s (William Boyde) daughter, Fi Browning, on the BBC One soap in 2017, but admits she "didn’t expect to like" her stint on the show.
Speaking to Express.co.uk, Lisa said: "I have to say I loved it. I didn’t expect to like it at all.
"I don’t know why. I was scared about doing it but they’d asked me to come and play this character and it was such a great character that I couldn’t refuse."
While Fi left Walford in December 2017, Lisa has still managed to cling onto a part of ‘EastEnders’ because she has come best pals with Luisa Bradshaw-White (Tina Carter) since appearing on the show, and confessed she "definitely wouldn’t say no" to reprising her role.
Lisa added: "But I went in and I loved it. I became good friend with Luisa Bradshaw-White, who has become one of my closest mates.
"I had such a lovely time doing it. If they did ever say, ‘Would you like to come back and do a bit more Fi?’ then I definitely wouldn’t say no.
"It’s such a lovely place to work and everyone was so nice."
The former ‘Celebrity MasterChef’ winner previously admitted she is keen for her alter-ego to appear opposite Letitia Dean’s character Sharon Mitchell.
She added: "I loved working with Letitia Dean so it would be great to work with Sharon.
"[I] loved ‘EastEnders’ and would love to keep acting."
