Ex-EastEnders star Nadia Sawalha has weighed in on the comments made by fellow Albert Square alumni Derek Martin, who hit out at the soaps for being too “miserable”.
Derek, 88, starred as cabbie Charlie Slater on the soap for 15 years before his character's death five years ago - but criticised the long-running show for losing its humour.
“You've got to have humour, especially in the depths of Covid, because there's always something to laugh about in life," he told The Sun.
