Danniella Westbrook has hit out at the BBC for failing to forewarn her that her iconic EastEnders character had been recast.
The 48-year-old actress first played Sam Mitchell – the daughter of Peggy and Eric Mitchell and younger sister of Phil and Grant – on the BBC soap way back in 1990 and last appeared as the character in 2016.
The character has also been played by Kim Medcalf, 48, on and off since 2002 – with the actress reprising the role again from this year.
