Stacey Dooley: Letitia Dean is ‘really dirty’

Stacey Dooley says Letitia Dean is "really dirty" on the ‘EastEnders’ set.

The 33-year-old presenter went to meet the actress – who plays Sharon Mitchell on the BBC show – for soap spin-off series ‘Secrets From The Square’, and she loved the star’s mucky sense of humour.

Speaking on ‘EastEnders’ star Jake Wood’s ‘Pound For Pound’ podcast, she said: "I love Tish. I don’t know why I loved her so much.

"I really enjoyed her company. I thought she was really dirty.

"No one is allowed to touch anyone, so the make-up artist handed her the mirror.

"She got the mirror, pulled her legs apart and looked up her skirt and went, ‘Yeah, it’s all still there.’ "

Stacey interviewed Letitia and her co-star Adam Woodyatt (Ian Beale) for the second-ever edition of the spin-off show.

And she interviewed Letitia again, alongside co-star Kellie Bright (Linda Carter), for a landladies special edition of ‘Secrets From The Square’, which is yet to air.

The soap stars chatted to the host about some of the legendary Queen Vic landladies who came before them, such as Dame Barbara Windsor’s character Peggy Mitchell, and Letitia’s on-screen mother Angie Watts (Anita Dobson).

Stacey said: "We’re talking all things landladies. Letitia Dean and Kellie Bright together – they are just a scream, they are really good fun.

"I had the most brilliant afternoon with the pair of them."

The spin-off show is on air while ‘EastEnders’ is on a break after running out of episodes due to the coronavirus lockdown.

In the final episode, Linda and Mick Carter (Danny Dyer) sold the Vic back to Sharon, under the nose of her estranged husband Phil Mitchell (Steve McFadden).

‘EastEnders’ stars resumed filming on the soap late last month.
