Former EastEnders star Cheryl Fergison has admitted that playing Heather Trott's post-death scenes was a tricky task.

Heather was killed off on Monday night (March 19) as twisted Ben Mitchell (Joshua Pascoe) attacked her, but Fergison remained in place on set for all of the aftermath scenes at the mum-of-one's flat.

Fergison today (March 21) told Radio 1: "It was a dream way to go. When you're told you'll be leaving the show it's upsetting, but it's a dream storyline. I watched it last night.

"Obviously when I played a corpse, I didn't see any of it - what was going on around me. It's hard, because you don't know when to breathe as you don't know when the cameras are on you! I was lying there for hours so it is hard, but I watched it last night and I'm so pleased with the end results. The aftermath is cracking, so stay tuned in."

Fergison added that she was touched by the support she received from colleagues past and present after filming Heather's final scenes.

"I did my final scene and suddenly the studio filled with people," she explained. "It was incredible, the number of people who came to say goodbye. Linda [Henry] had arranged a surprise party - Barbara Windsor and Pam St Clement turned up. It was amazing. For the first time, I walked into a room and didn't speak for about 15 minutes. To see all these faces - it was a room full of love."

EastEnders continues tonight (March 21) at 7.30pm on BBC One as Shirley discovers that Heather is dead.

Phil gave the photoframe to Ben to throw in the canal and burnt the dish cloth and Ben's shirt in the arches in a barrel

I hope Shirley starts to look into her deleted voicemail from Hev as the whole death was on that I believe

I think Phil pulled his jumper sleeves over his hands, but he touched a load of things when he first went into the flat. Wonder how this storyline will keep going, Jay's sure to tell Billy.

Jay and Shirley's acting is very good in this storyline Ben is an evil little toad

Actress Cheryl Fergison has spoken of her devastation at her character Heather Trott being axed from EastEnders.
But at least the lovable personality has been sent off in style, if the latest pictures of her funeral are anything to go by.
The karaoke-loving character, who was killed by Ben Mitchell on the show, was given a fond farewell as the stars of Albert Square turned out to see her pink coffin buried into the ground.



Her final journey: Cheryl Fergison's character Heather Trott was sent off in style in a pink coffin as the EastEnders cast filmed her funeral scenes
Castmembers including Phil Mitchell, played by Steve McFadden, were among the mourners who were spotted filming the scenes at a church in north London earlier today.

The bright pink coffin was seen being carried into the venue with a large bunch of colourful flowers placed on top after it was carried out of a white hearse.
And it appeared to be a busy day for the cast and crew as they were spotted taking breaks in between filming the emotional scenes.
McFadden was seen talking and texting on his mobile while other stars took a seat as the cameramen put everything in place.
And Joshua Pascoe, who plays Ben Mitchell in the soap, was also seen on set, despite his character causing Heather's demise by lashing out at her and hitting her on the head.
And although she has admitted she knew it was inevitable, Cheryl has spoken of her upset following the axe.
She told Best magazine: 'When they told me Heather was for the chop, (the boss) had to get me a tissue.
Sometimes a character is sacrificed to make other stories work. I get it. I knew it was going to come but it was still a shock.'

Graveyard shot: Steve McFadden, who plays Phil Mitchell, was on hand to act out the funeral scenes


In character: Phil Mitchell's son Ben killed Heather when he lashed out and hit her on the head
And it appears she will be missed by her castmates on set.
Ricky Grover, who played Trott's fiancée paid homage to the star and told Inside Soap: 'I was away when Cheryl was filming her final episodes, but I drove about 100 miles an hour to get back in time to watch them shoot her final scene.


Taking a break: The stars sat in the sun as the crew set about arranging the day's filming


Cameras rolling: The pink coffin stood out against the dark backdrop of the church
'When I got to the set, nearly all of the cast and crew were there.'
He added to the magazine: 'Some familiar faces came back to see Cheryl, too. The fact that people like Barbara Windsor and Pam St Clement joined us for a good knees-up shows just how well-respected Cheryl is.'


Not so sombre: There was no black in sight on the mourners


Short and tight: Linda Henry wore an eye-catching orange and black outfit
