I’m A Celeb star Wayne Sleep is eyeing up a role on EastEnders after finding a spooky connection to the soap.
The ballet pro, 76, spoke to Daily Star as he promoted his new memoir Just Different, where he spoke about his life story and memorable anecdotes. Throughout his years of fame, Wayne has starred on many different TV shows, but would soaps be up his alley?
The 2003 ITV jungle star answered: “I’d love to appear as a guest on a soap. I think EastEnders would be good and I’d like to be a baddie.

“I played the child catcher on the London Palladium once where I used to frighten children to death, so I could come into the show like the child catcher and do a bit from it, maybe for their Christmas party or something.”

Wayne then revealed his “past life” connection to the show as he once ruled the streets of the East End, where the soap is set in, according to a psychic.
The star was once “put under” by Kenny Everett’s wife and psychic Audrey “Lady Lee” Middleton Everett who helped him find out about his “past life”. He shared: “I once got put under and apparently I was from the 1800s or something.

“I was a violinist from the East End of London, but I was wanted for murder, in a former life. They said I murdered people in the East End back then, so maybe a part in EastEnders does make sense now!”
When asked if he has any other spiritual encounters, Wayne added: “I’ve seen people walk through my old house. I live in a house that Nancy Mitford used to live in, and I think I’ve seen her figure standing around occasionally.

“That’s really spooky, enough to make me turn the lights on. Now, whenever I go downstairs before I go back upstairs again, I have to look through all the rooms to make sure she’s not there.”
Wayne’s new book Just Different is out now and can be found here.
