BBC EastEnders fans left emotional as they witness Shirley Carter star burst into tears after being serenaded

EastEnders fans found themselves overcome with emotion as they watched Linda Henry left in tears after being serenaded on set. The actress, who is famed for playing Linda Carter in the BBC One soap, was mesmerized by the voice of Rag’n’Bone Man who paid a visit to Walford last year.

The singer was revealed to be Rocky’s music guest for the carol concert fundraiser, in scenes that aired just before Christmas on December 23. After bumping into the familiar face in The Queen Vic, Rocky manages to persuade the award-winning musician to perform at the carol concert under the twinkling lights of Albert Square as a wedding gift to Janine and Mick.

Prior to his screen debut, Rag’n’Bone Man, whose real name is Rory Charles Graham, said: "In the words of Gabrielle 'dreams can come true'. Thanks to everyone at EastEnders for one of the best days of my life!!"
