The One Show viewers stunned at EastEnders longest serving character

AN EastEnders legend stunned viewers of The One Show last night as she spoke out in an extremely rare chat.

The BBC One programme has been commemorating 100 years of the BBC all week with hosts Zoe Ball and Ronan Keating.

During the latest edition of the programme, recently axed Strictly star Richie Anderson was sent off to the set of Albert Square to interview an iconic character to promote the new BBC contest, 15 Seconds of Fame, whereby members of the public can apply to have a short cameo in one of their favourite shows.

There was no one better to discuss having built a career off of a small extra part than Jane Slaughter, famed for playing Tracey the barmaid. 

Jane has appeared on the show since its inception in 1985 and has remained in the background of the pub ever since.
