Barbara Windsor has given her backing to Babs, a forthcoming BBC TV movie about her life.
Babs heads a line-up of new BBC Drama commissions announced by Charlotte Moore, acting director of television.
The biopic will be written by Tony Jordan, a former EastEnders writer and series consultant.
Dame Barbara, who has recently left the long-running BBC One soap, said it was “the right time” for her story.
She said: “Although it’s been spoken about in the past to do my life story, it wasn’t until two years ago I was approached by the brilliant writer Tony Jordan and the BBC … I knew this was the right time and undoubtedly the only person I felt knew me well enough to tell my story.”
She added: “Tony knows the real me and what makes me tick and I was particularly taken by the way he wants to tell my tale which is not in the way people will expect it to be. Tony certainly has captured the moments of my life that have made me who I am today. I am honoured and excited that Tony and the BBC have commissioned this.”
The 90-minute special is set to be broadcast next year in the run-up to Dame Barbara’s 80th birthday.
Babs will centre on the Londoner’s lonely childhood, her complicated relationship with her father and her doomed marriage to Ronnie Knight.
It will also depict how she became the blonde bombshell in the Carry On films.

I mentioned earlier that I had discovered that Barbara Windsor appeared at my theatre in 1993. I discovered it following an inquiry from the BBC who were researching for "Babs". Maybe we'll get a mention......
I think I've also said before that her father with whom she had a "complicated relationship" left her mother for my first cousin once removed, whom he later married. So as well as the theatre I also have a family involvement in this story......
