EastEnders star banned from knowing role and given codename before joining soap

Actress shares the lengths show bosses went to keep her arrival a secret Joining the Fowler family has been a dream come true for EastEnders actress Alice Haig. When she stepped on to Albert Square as the new Vicki – the love child of teen mum Michelle Fowler and Dirty Den Watts – she knew she was instantly becoming part of a huge soap legacy. Her big arrival in Walford was such a huge event, totally shrouded in secrecy, that her character was given a code name, she tells. Even Alice herself was told only two days before filming who she would be playing. Lifting the lid on the lengths the soap went to to keep her entrance under wraps, Alice says, 'I knew I was in it. I knew what the scripts were, I knew who the character was for me. But I didn't know my name. ‌ ‌ 'It was a code name. It was Sammy. I didn't know until about two or three days before I started filming. And then they tell you at a certain point, and then they give you loads of information about it at that point, when you know you're in and you're in proper. And then it happened. When I found out, I was like, 'This is amazing.' It couldn't have been better. I have the best parents, the legacy. It's so good.' It was announced that Alice had joined the show back in February and she first appeared on screen in April, when she arrived in Walford for the funeral of her uncle Martin (played by James Bye). She is now the fourth actress to play Vicki – the daughter of Michelle (Susan Tully) and Den (Leslie Grantham) – who was at the centre of a controversial storyline about teen pregnancy, with viewers initially kept in the dark about who her dad was. A fan of the BBC soap since she was a child, Alice reveals that the part felt like it was meant to be. 'I've always watched it and I was born in February 1985, so I'm the same age as EastEnders,' she has previously said. Vicki is back on the Square after 20 years, bringing her new boyfriend Ross (Alex Walkinshaw) and his son Joel (Max Murray) with her. Before that she'd been running a bar in Australia with her long-term love Spencer Moon. When she arrives in Walford with a new man on her arm, it comes as quite a shock to her sister Sharon (Letitia Dean) and Spencer's brother Alfie (Shane Richie) – who had no idea the couple had split. ‌ Alice says she still can't believe she gets to work with her soap idols every day. 'I pinch myself all the time on set,' she admits. 'Being around Adam (Woodyatt), and Tish (Letitia Dean). My first scene was with them. Tish is amazing, Adam's amazing, Steve (McFadden) is amazing. When they're in the scene we just aired this week, I had to pinch myself when Phil Mitchell was stopping me from going somewhere. I was like, 'What the... This is amazing!' 'My family, they're really proud. They're watching it for the first time in ages. We used to watch it as a family and now they're watching it again. Honestly, it's the nicest place to work.' ‌ Alice comes from an acting family – her mum Julia Gray acts under the stage name Jane Galloway and her dad is David Haig, 69, an actor and playwright known for his role as Bernard in Four Weddings And A Funeral. He was awarded an MBE for his services to drama. Alongside penning plenty of successful plays, David also starred in Doc Martin, The Thick Of It and Downton Abbey. Most recently he was in Killing Eve, in which he played Sandra Oh's spy colleague Bill, who was killed off by Jodie Comer 's character Villanelle. After graduating from the Royal Central School of Speech and Drama, south London-born Alice, 40, went on to appear in various television and stage productions. She played journalist Sophie in the comedy Rain Dogs and a nurse in This Is Going To Hurt. She also secured a role on Disney+ series Andor – a Star Wars spin-off – before announcing her Walford debut. Alice says her part in EastEnders is her biggest role to date – and she's loving being part of such a huge show. 'It's been totally lovely,' she said at the British Soap Awards. 'Anybody who's come up to me in the street has been really nice. It's all new for me. I did a lot of theatre and television before, but TV was just one episode of a drama or something like that, so it's very different to this, which is on in everybody's living rooms every night.'

Meghan Markle 'viewed as irrelevant' by royals amid explosive new swipe at Firm

Meghan Markle appeared to deliver a veiled dig at the Royal Family in a new podcast interview - and one royal expert has revealed how she believes the Firm would have reacted Meghan Markle has embarked on a publicity blitz as the second drop of her eagerly-awaited As Ever products were made available to fans. But it wasn't exactly the new products that raised eyebrows - it was her apparent subtle dig at the Royal Family in a bombshell new podcast interview. It came when the Duchess of Sussex was quizzed on her public image in an appearance on the Aspire by Emma Grede podcast, where she also discussed setting up her own As Ever lifestyle brand, as well as what drives her career goals. Emma asked Meghan: "If you could rewrite your public narrative from scratch, is there anything that you would do differently?" ‌ ‌ To which Meghan telling said: "Yes, I would ask people to tell the truth." The duchess gave no specifics about to whom she was referring but later talks to a 'lie' told eight years ago. Eight years ago, in 2017, former actress Meghan was dating and became engaged to the now-Duke of Sussex, and began preparing for life as a member of the royal family. Her comment about telling the truth came after Meghan had previously accused the palace of "perpetuating falsehoods" about her during her time as a working royal. But despite the seeming dig, royal expert Jennie Bond tells the Mirror that the comment will not have bothered her in-laws that much. The former BBC royal correspondent said: "I imagine they may see a passing headline about Meghan's latest exploits, but I very much doubt that any of them take much notice about what she is doing or saying. "She is someone they knew for a very brief period of time. I don't think Meghan forged a meaningful relationship with any of the royal family – except, obviously, her husband. And so I think she is viewed as irrelevant by most of the family." In the past few days, Meghan has released her second string of items for sale on the As Ever website, including new items, as well as her signature jam and flower sprinkles. ‌ It comes as she has also ramped up her social media presence on Instagram, posting ever more personal snippets of her life and children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet. And Jennie added: "She is now clearly carving out her own path as an influencer and would-be entrepreneur. To be successful in these fields she needs publicity. That's the name of the game. And so she is pumping out as much content as possible. "It's all about clicks and followers - which, in turn, bring money. I don't think there's even the remotest possibility that she would either want to return to life as a working royal or that she would be welcomed back. She's making her own way in life, and that's absolutely fine - good for her. "But personally I now find it laughable even to consider her as 'royal'. Hers was but a brief flirtation with a world she knew nothing about and which she very quickly decided she didn't like. I hope she's hugely successful in her new ventures. She's working hard, she deserves to do well."

In 2013, Sir David opened up about his childhood with The Scotsman, describing memories of playing on bombsites and learning to play the fool to not get bullied. Sharing with the publication: "I was very shy and had low self-esteem, the only way to stop yourself getting beaten up was to turn your hand to being an idiot." Sir David was inspired to become an actor after his older brother Arthur had won a scholarship to a drama school, and the local amateur dramatic group were short on boys, seeing him sign up. Recommended Reading He attended Northfield Secondary Modern after failing his 11-plus in 1951. Leaving school at 15, he had few aspirations and at 20 worked as an electrician before trying to give professional acting a go.
