Barbara Windsor: I’m too old for snogging scenes

At 70, Babs reckons fans don't want to see her kissing

She may be a youthful 70, but EastEnders legend Barbara Windsor reckons she’s too old for steamy on-screen scenes.

Babs, who plays Queen Vic matriarch Peggy Mitchell, doesn’t think fans want to see her puckering up.

‘As you get on a bit, you become very nervous about things such as kissing scenes,’ she admits.

‘I’m not sure viewers want to see older people doing all that. I like Peggy single.

'Pat bagged the lovely Christopher Ellison recently [Len Harker], so I won’t be able to get in there.’

And pint-sized Barbara is hoping to slow down.

‘The way things are going at the Vic, they might put Roxy and Ronnie behind the bar and let Peggy sit on the other side, all glammed up,’ she tells the Sun.

Winking at all the fellas, no doubt.
