Charlie Brooks has revealed her secret career venture after leaving EastEnders, collaborating with Ann Summers to create a sex toy.
The 41-year-old actress left EastEnders in explosive scenes at the end of last year as her villainous character Janine Butcher was involved in Mick Carter's disappearance in explosive Christmas scenes.
The shocking Christmas Day episode saw Mick, played by Danny Dyer, swim out to sea to try and save Janine and his childhood sweetheart Linda – after Janine drove the pair off a clifftop and into freezing waters – and get lost at sea in his own soap exit.
