DOT TO ADOPT

EXCLUSIVE
By Jon Wise

EASTENDERS' longest resident Dot Branning is about to become the world's oldest new MUM.

The chain-smoking laundrette worker, played by 80-YEAR-OLD June Brown, is to adopt a baby from abroad.

And that means she'll be following the real-life footsteps of superstars such as Angelina Jolie, 31, and Madonna, 48.

East Enders will show Dot getting all motherly in a new storyline to be screened within the next six weeks.

A soap insider said: "We can confirm it is true. Dot is going to become a mum and adopt a baby from overseas.

"We are all very excited about the storyline.


"The scenes were filmed in Canterbury, Kent a few weeks ago. June celebrated her birthday on Friday and she told us she is really excited about her character's new challenge.


"Dot's always loved kids and reckons that having a baby to look after is just the thing to keep her young."

personally, I think it sounds like a ridiculous storyline.

Ok, I absolutely did not see that coming!

Will she be allowed to at her age?

[Skylace]

I think it's a bit silly myself.

Is this a wind-up? For a moment there, I had to check my calendar to ensure it wasn't April 1st!
