Actress Kate Robbins will be storming her way onto EastEnders next month as she prepares to join the show as music producer Jen Glover.
Emily Atack’s mum confirmed the news on her Instagram today as she revealed she was “delighted” to be joining the famous square – and said she’s even more delighted about her savvy leather jacket that her character dons.
She posted the snap of herself in front of the famous Albert Square sign earlier today adding that she knew people would be focused on the Euro 2020 match later on.
After posting the photo, daughter Emily Atack shared it onto her story, writing: “She’s coming home… Kate joins EastEnders. You’re a legend.”

Jen will reportedly be joining the soap as a “no-nonsense, old-school rocker”, but she’s only expected to be on for a short while.
A source told The Sun on Sunday that the team felt that Kate was the perfect fit for the cast.
They said: “Not only is she a great actress, but she has plenty of experience of that music industry too. They weren’t disappointed – she did a brilliant job.”
It is reported that she will join the show alongside her friend Rocky, played by Brian Conley, to work on the rising pop career of Whitney Dean.

Speaking about her role in the show, she said: “I am so excited to be joining the show as Jen,” before adding that working with the team was a “dream”.
Kate has boasted a strong career with various roles in both films and TV shows, including voice-over work and even an appearance on Celebrity Gogglebox.
She even dabbled in the music industry which launched her career after rising to fame in the 1980s and landing the number two spot on the charts with More Than In Love.

It seems she passed the acting gene onto her daughter as Emily Atack has also featured in her fair share of films and TV shows including The Inbetweeners and Almost Married.
Emily Atack had a successful start to her acting career and has only continued to grow her image.
The 31-year-old won I’m A Celebrity in 2018 and has since launched her own TV show of The Emily Atack show last year.
