The Sunday Mirror reports that Rustie Lee has won a role as Opal, the battleaxe aunt of street sweeper Gus. Rustie said that she is absolutely over the moon and can't wait. She will be arriving in the spring.

Rustie Lee is a television chef and actress, most famous for her appearing in the 1980s on TV-am. She was born in Jamaica. According to some sources, Rustie left TV-am under something of a cloud after allegations of product placement for a well-known brand of table salt. However, she also appeared as a presenter on the second, less successful, incarnation of ITV gameshow Game for a Laugh. She was also the subject of a popular joke at the time, involving another celebrity, Jimmy Nail. It would be asked what her name would be after a marriage to Jimmy Nail, with the answer being, Rustie Nail.
She is well known for her "infectious" laughter and I hope she brings a bit of fun to Albert Square.

Lol I love her already, think shes great and love the fact it brings more attention to Gus, he got forgotten about, he did quite a bit in the past, not as much as others but still, nice to have him back properly

They where both on this morning, it's such a shame Gus is leaving and we have only got Auntie Opal tomorrow and then that's it, but she was wicked tonight.

I know they said on this morning that it's such a shame is only just happened she would have been great in the soap for a few months.
