Five years after playing the late Dame Barbara Windsor in BBC biopic Babs, Jaime Winstone is stepping into her shoes once again.
The 37-year-old will appear as a younger version of the icon’s most famous character, Peggy Mitchell, in a special flashback episode of EastEnders and says: “It’s a real honour.”
While her role in Babs covered Barbara’s childhood, early romances and rise to fame in the Carry On movies in detail, Jaime felt like her “journey with Barbara” hadn’t really finished.
