I was a fan-favourite EastEnders star before being brutally killed off… I took on a VERY normal job after the soap
AN EASTENDERS star, who was brutally killed off, shocked fans when she was spotted at her new job.
Former actress Hetti Bywater – who played Lucy Beale until 2014 – was snapped pulling pints after her swift exit from the hit iconic soap.
The then 23-year-old kept up her strong work ethic and landed herself a job at a pub in Islington following her starring role in one of the show’s biggest ever storylines.
A source told the Sunday Mirror at the time: “She was clearing glasses while punters watched football and smoking fags outside with colleagues.”
But, her most recent appearance came last month when she was seen enjoying a glass of wine or two with a group of friends in London’s Notting Hill.
Hetti looked effortlessly glam as she showed off her trim, bronzed figure in a black crop top and yellow shorts.
She looked happy raising a glass to celebrate with her pals, and has never appeared to yearn for her role as Lucy Beale to be reprised.
In fact, Hetti previously admitted she “hated” her character and was glad she got killed off.
Lucy Beale was played by four actresses after being introduced to EastEnders as a newborn baby in 1993.
Hetti was the last to play the character, who was the daughter of Ian and Cindy Beale and twin sister of Peter Beale.
She took on the role in 2012 and found herself embroiled in a dramatic murder storyline two years later.
Lucy was found dead on the common and no one knew how she met her grisly end.
It was later revealed that her 10-year-old half-brother had murdered her after he clonked Lucy over the head with a jewellery box.
