Michael Caine

Not a Lot of People Know That

Rumours are circulating that Michael Caine, a Londoner himself, who was born in Rotherhithe and grew up in Camberwell, could make an appearance in the BBC soap EastEnders.

He has admitted to watching the programme and says he thinks Barbara Windsor is "great" but has never been offered a part. "If they did, I might just say yes," he said.

A spokesperson for the BBC was not dismissive, suggesting that he would fit in perfectly and could just arrive in Walford to visit old friends.

Soap lovers will remember that the last knighted actor to express an interest in appearing in a soap was fan of Coronation Street Sir Ian McKellen, who did eventually play a short cameo role.
