Brooks signs to 'Enders for three more years

[Perdita]

EastEnders actress Charlie Brooks has signed a new three-year contract with the soap.

The 28-year-old, who plays Walford superbitch Janine Butcher, announced her regular return to the show in 2008 for an initial year.

Speaking to DS in December, she said: "I'm back for a year at the moment. I don't know [about anything longer]. We'll see how it goes on both parts."

However, her ex-boyfriend Tony Truman, who is also the father of her four-year-old daughter Kiki, recently revealed that his former flame is to stay with EastEnders for at least the next three years.

He told Closer: "Charlie's just signed a three-year contract to keep playing Janine - she loves getting all the wicked storylines."

Of his contact with Brooks, Truman added: "We're still like bezzie mates, I love it when she visits me in Ibiza with Kiki - we have so much fun in the sun."

Good news but they need to actually start doing something with her. I've been quite disappointed with her return so far tbh, she hasn't exactly done much.

I can't stand her at the moment; I used to like her.
