EastEnders star Lacey Turner turns Bond Girl in a skintight gold catsuit | Mail Online

"When producers told Lacey Turner she was to dress as a Bond Girl for a forthcoming episode of EastEnders she 'didn't think anything of it'.

Then they handed her a gold lam�catsuit, which was skin tight.

She told the TV Times that she was not impressed with the outfit, saying: 'I had to wear the gold catsuit, which I didn't particularly like!"

'The costume department held it up and asked me "Do you want to wear this?" and I said "If I have to". When I put it on, it was skin-tight and I thought "Oh my God!"'

She continued: 'I've never seen a Bond film in my life! When they said Bond theme, I didn't think anything of it, because I didn't know the films.

'Now that I realise they dress in gold catsuits, I'm not a fan!'

The actress, who plays Stacey Branning in the BBC soap, dressed up as a Bond girl for husband Bradley's 007-themed 21st birthday bash.

Actor Charlie Clements, who wore a white dinner jacket for the party, added: 'Bond girls don't tend to wear a lot, do they?'

Court told neighbour acted like Eastenders 'Phil Mitchell' - Blackpool Today

"A ROW over a wheelie bin landed a neighbour in court.
John Roberts infuriated his neighbour when he put his own rubbish into the bin.

Neighbour Ian Muller was described as going round to remonstrate with Roberts 'like Phil Mitchell from EastEnders'.

Roberts, 25, of Durham Road, Blackpool, pleaded guilty to damaging a door when he appeared before Blackpool magistrates.

Susan Starr, prosecuting, said Mr Muller went to put some waste in his bin and found it full.

A neighbour told him Roberts had filled his bin up with rubbish.

Mr Muller went round to Roberts' flat and told him he did not want any trouble, but he did not want him putting waste in his bin again.

Five minutes later Roberts appeared at Mr Muller's flat and became so aggressive he was pushed out."
