Rustie Lee joining EastEnders cast

Celebrity chef Rustie Lee is set to join the cast of 'EastEnders', as Gus Smith's feisty aunt. According to the show's official website, the 54-year-old will play a character called Opal for two episodes, which will be screened in April.

Rustie said: "I'm absolutely over the moon to think I'm going to be in the Square. I can't wait." Actor Mo George, who plays Lee's on-screen nephew Gus, will be leaving the show soon.

For those that don't know her, she was a big name on Breakfast TV in the mid 80s, with her most well-known aspect being her LOUD laugh. I wonder if they'll either use it or ignore it completely - there' no middle ground!
