EXCLUSIVE: Ronnie Mitchell actress Samantha Womack has spoken exclusively to Daily Star about her character and hinted that she and Roxy could return in the most unexpected way…
EastEnders’ Samantha Womack has hinted Ronnie Mitchell could return to Albert Square.
Her beloved character was sadly killed off on New Year’s Day 2017 after Ronnie and her sister Roxy, played by Rita Simons, jumped into a pool after a night of drinking and never resurfaced.
However, in an exclusive chat with Daily Star Samantha hinted that the blonde bombshell siblings could return to the soap in a rather unexpected way.
She told us: “Listen, I’d go even further than that to say if they could find some manufactured way where we’d died artificially, so you say maybe he gave us those drugs that make your heart stop for five minutes?”
“We can disappear back to Ibiza, who knows. Honestly, I would never say never to anything now. It wasn’t right for me to stay in that job at the time, because I’d been there for a long time and you get lazy, you get used to making regular money, which is a self employed artist.”
“Essentially, you start to become less creative and more scared […] I’m really glad now that I left because I got to reflect on it, but also I got to realise what a great part of my life it was.”
Samantha admitted that she “loved the people there,” including the cast members, camera operators and makeup artists. She compared them to “family” and leaving them was the ultimate “trauma of leaving the job”.
“Actually, it was like leaving this weird family. No, I’m glad it happened. I’d never say never to anything. I’m not that rich!”
Samantha Womack is a breast cancer survivor and is campaigning for women to ask about their breast density following a mammogram. Getting the all clear does not necessarily mean you are cancer free if you have dense breasts, as cancer can be harder to spot and potentially be missed.
Women in the UK are not currently informed about their breast density following a mammogram, and currently no further additional imaging is offered for women with dense breasts. GenesisCare is committing to proactively inform all women who undergo a mammogram what their breast density score is.
Samantha says: “It seems totally crazy that all women aren’t being provided with this information as standard – well done GenesisCare on taking the lead on something so critical.”
She says: “I want women to understand the risks of dense breast and feel confident to speak up following their mammogram so they can make an informed decision whether they want to proceed with further investigative treatment. Don’t be afraid to speak up – It could save your life.
The Keep Abreast of your Breast Density campaign doesn’t just educate about the risks, but also encourages and empowers women to speak up and ask the right questions that could save their lives. Information is power and without it, tumours are being missed.”
GenesisCare has also launched a new screening service where patients who have dense breast tissue can benefit from a rapid breast MRI scan for early detection of cancer. These scans, which aren’t widely available as standard screening unless you have a very high risk of breast cancer, are now available privately at GenesisCare centres in Oxford and Windsor.
Samantha Womack is partnering with private cancer care provider GensisCare to encourage women to Keep Abreast of their Breast Density. For more information on Dense Breast and Rapid Breast MRI scans, please click here.
