EXCLUSIVE: Eurovision legend Cheryl Baker is eyeing up a return to Albert Square and plans on bringing a brand new twist to the BBC soap as she celebrates her roots
An EastEnders star is eyeing up a return with a never been done before twist, according to the TV icon.
Bucks Fizz singer Cheryl Baker revealed she is keen to make a comeback to the soap – but when asked what character she would like to play, she said herself.
Speaking exclusively to Daily Star at the Which Bingo Awards, she told us: “Yes, I would go back and I’d like to play myself as Cheryl Baker, I as come from East London.
“So I’d like them to write in the fact that Cheryl Baker has moved back to East London, yeah, so that I can go the Queen Vic and say, I’ve been kicking it, so being me. I don’t think they’ve done that before, so I think that could be good.
“Then I could go in and out as I pleased – which could work for other stars as well. There are lots of people that come from East London, so that could be a good way to get good cameos on the show, and get more traction.”
Cheryl had previously made an appearance on the BBC soap in 2023 to commemorate that year’s Eurovision Song Contest.
Though she also another link to the show as she goes way back with one of the show’s biggest acting legends.
Cheryl explained: “I also have a Patsy Palmer story that I was totally unaware of. When my children were about 18 months, there was a children’s fashion parade for charity, and at the time, Patsy had a little boy about the same age as my girl. I saw her and she went, ‘You don’t remember me? Do you?’ And she said, she used to come in my mum and dad’s pub in East London.
“She said, ‘Do you remember organising tickets for me and my dad to come and see you? Remember that?’ She said, ‘You organized tickets for us, the most wonderful show ever, and then you got us on stage to meet the rest of them.’
“And she said, ‘You will never know how wonderful that was for us. I cried afterwards.’ That made me so happy and, and you do these things for people and you don’t realize how much it could affect them. And then she goes on to be Patsy Palmer!”
