Barbara Windsor has revealed that she will take part in one live scene as part of EastEnders' 30th anniversary week.

Windsor is reprising her iconic role as Peggy Mitchell for an episode during the week, and has now revealed that she will also appear in a live element.

"There shouldn't be live episodes," she joked to the Daily Star. "Luckily, I've only got one live scene on Tuesday but it's so different to doing theatre. There are cameras, there's cables and there's microphones.

"I've already been told to be careful because there's a cable and this big thing above me."

Windsor also expressed disappointment that she will not be joined by former co-star Ross Kemp.

"That Ross is a cheeky bugger. He'll say to me over dinner, 'Yeah, I'm coming back,' and then he doesn't," she said. "I actually thought he would come back this time."

The actress went on to say: "Of course, I'm a little disappointed there won't be one last scene with Peggy and her boys. It would've been good, but a lot of other stuff is happening on the show."
