I had a lot of fun but, of course, it was bittersweet. "It was amazing to be back, but hard to be filming this storyline. I can tell the viewers now that Dot gets the beautiful send-off that she deserves.
June was the light and joy of EastEnders." Opening up about her moments with June, the actress added: "I had so much fun working with her, the incredible stories and how infectious & witty she was. June is a legend and I miss her very much." Jacqueline's character Lauren left Albert Square in 2018 after her sister Abi (played by Lorna Fitzgerald) died. Other characters who are set to return for Dot's funeral include Mary ‘the punk’ Smith (Linda Davidson), George ‘Lofty’ Holloway (Tom Watt) and Colin Russell (Lord Michael Cashman CBE).
After leaving EastEnders, Jacqueline was crowned the 2019 winner of I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here!.
