Rita: I Use to have panic attack's everyday!

EastEnders star Rita Simons has spoken about the panic attacks she has suffered from since giving birth to her twin daughters.

The actress, who plays Roxy Mitchell in the BBC soap, and husband Theo Silveston became parents to Jaimee and Maiya in April 2006. Speaking to OK magazine, she revealed that she had sought medical treatment to prevent further attacks.

Simons recalled: "When Theo and I went for our first night out after the kids were born, we were having a subdued dinner with friends and suddenly I couldn't breathe.

"My heart was in my mouth and I was sweating and shaking. I didn't tell anyone because you feel stupid and weak, like you are going insane."

Simons further explained: "I was having attacks almost every day and living in fear of having them the rest of the time. I walked off set a couple of times and had to have a strict word with myself.

"I felt sick all the time and had the shakes all the time. And then I'd go back into full-on panic. When it happened again and again I realised I had a problem and I had to get help."

Simons said that she still wears earphones when shopping so that she can "block everything out".

CONTAINS NUDITY:

BOOTH: I'd have dumped Tanya,

Stefan Booth who plays Greg.

Stefan Booth has insisted that he is not as naïve as his EastEnders character Greg Jessop, admitting that he would have dumped cheating Tanya weeks ago.

Greg is currently oblivious to the fact that his wife has been having an affair with her ex-husband Max Branning (Jake Wood), but the infidelity storyline is expected to reach an explosive climax in next week's episodes.

Booth commented during an appearance on This Morning today: "Poor old Greg - he's been taken for a ride, hasn't he? He really has. But it's been a really great experience up until this point and I'm really glad. What was meant to be three or four episodes has turned into a gargantuan year."

Asked if Greg is completely blind to Tanya's (Jo Joyner) affair, the actor replied: "He is. I have to be honest, if it was me, I would have been out in half an hour and I'd have been gone! But that wouldn't be much of a storyline, would it?"

Booth confirmed that the next few episodes of EastEnders will see "it all coming out in the wash [and] really hitting the fan". However, he would not reveal the exact outcome of the plot.


"It's really great the storyline has come out for some people, but for me, I get really disappointed when I see a storyline that's leaked," he explained. "For us guys, we work so hard to make sure that everything surprises people."


Booth added: "I can't wait for you all to see it - enjoy it. EastEnders is a really good place to work - it's a really good bunch of people. And working with Jo and Jake, they're solid actors to work with. They all are."

Womack: I Miss the SQ.

Former EastEnders star Samantha Womack has said that she misses working on the soap.

The actress quit her role as Ronnie Branning earlier this year and is about to take to the stage in the musical South Pacific.

She told Woman & Home magazine: "Part of me misses EastEnders and Ronnie. Working for long stretches, day in, day out, I knew exactly how she'd think and feel.

"From the first day of discussing the character it was clear she was damaged - with a background of abuse and, as an actress, that was an amazing opportunity. It was demanding, but always fulfilling."

Earlier this week EastEnders' controversial baby swap storyline involving Womack's character was cleared of any wrongdoing by broadcasting regulator Ofcom.

Speaking about the plot, Samantha added: "For scenes that needed to be really gut-wrenching, I delved deep inside myself to portray grief.

"I felt huge sadness when Ronnie lost her baby, but when you act, you do learn how to protect yourself from the emotions [that] you're portraying."

The actress also rubbished claims that she was verbally abused by fans of the soap over the storyline.

"The newspaper stories about people yelling at me in the street when she swapped her baby were rubbish. It never happened."
