EastEnders drops first look at Bucks Fizz star Cheryl Baker’s epic Walford debut
THERE is about to be a new A-list arrival on Albert Square as Eurovision fever hits Walford.
Bucks Fizz legend Cheryl Baker is set to make her EastEnders debut as she arrives at The Prince Albert to host an extra special Eurovision themed party.
Cheryl’s arrival will be kept secret from the Walford residents who will be left stunned to see the popstar rock up at their local bar.
As The Prince Albert gets all decked out for Kathy Beale’s (Gillian Talyforth) birthday party, she has no idea about the famous face lurking around the corner.
Rocky Cotton, played by Brian Conley, has managed to secure Cheryl to be a surprise guest at the event.
Everyone is later shocked to see that Kathy’s birthday party is actually merged into a huge Eurovision shindig hosted by the Bucks Fizz legend.
Off-screen, Cheryl and her group won the hearts of the nation when they managed to scoop the coveted Eurovision crown in 1981.
The band’s track, Making Your Mind Up, stormed to the top of the contest and has remained one of the UK’s most notable entries of all time.
Not passing up on this epic opportunity, Kathy and Jean don’t waste any time in getting up on stage with Cheryl to recreate Bucks Fizz’s performance.
Rocky also meddles in on the action as he can be seen cuddling up to Cheryl in the epic crossover.
Walford will be celebrating Eurovision like never before, in the same vein as most of the UK, as Liverpool takes over hosting duties for the annual Song Contest.
EastEnders airs Monday-Thursday at 7:30pm on BBC One and BBC iPlayer.
