A Nottinghamshire man said it "felt like a dream" when he starred on BBC One soap EastEnders. George Codd, from Gedling, was in the hit show last night (January 23) after winning the opportunity to make an appearance as part of the BBC's 100-year celebrations.
To mark those celebrations, the BBC offered people the chance of a lifetime to appear in their favourite programme by making an application through a website. The broadcaster received more than 150,000 entries from viewers hoping to appear in programmes such as Strictly and Casualty.
EastEnders super-fan George applied for the long-running soap - and he was successful. He was told he had been selected in a surprise Zoom call from actor Natalie Cassidy, who plays Sonia Fowler in the show.
