Samantha Janus could weigh 24 stone

Wednesday, 30th July 2008


EastEnders star Samantha Janus can't wait to retire - so she can get really fat.

The actress - who plays club owner Ronnie Mitchell in the hit soap - says she has to watch what she eats as she needs to stay slim while she appears on TV.

She said: "The only reason I'm quite slim is because I spend my life being miserable about saying no to things and always feel hungry.

"I could easily be 24 stone. When I retire I'm going to eat and eat and triple in size!"

Very hard work

The mother-of-two also revealed working on a soap is very hard work.

She added: "Working on 'EastEnders' is the hardest job I've ever had.

You have to remember there's no end to the story - you have to do 12 working hours straight.

And you never know what you're going to play next.

But I love the show."
