Jaime Winstone says she struggled to shake off “the wiggle and giggle” of Barbara Windsor’s Carry On days to play her a second time as EastEnder Peggy Mitchell.
The actress said she was persuaded to appear in an upcoming flashback episode of the BBC1 soap by the excellent script.
Jaime, 37, said: “It’s f***ing nerve-wracking. You’re just playing the most iconic character in British TV history! I tried to turn the nerves into excitement. As soon as I put the wig on, I could hear her saying, ‘you’ve got this’.”
