    Probably belongs in TV, but this related to a retro show. Just spotted this on rte.ie :)
    Worzel Gummidge star joins EastEnders

    Una Stubbs, who previously played Aunt Sally in 'Worzel Gummidge', is set to join the cast of 'EastEnders'.

    Stubbs will play a character called Aunty Caroline in the soap, arriving in Albert Square to help her niece Honey prepare for her wedding.

    The overprotective Aunty Caroline has acted as a surrogate mother to Honey since her own mother died while giving birth.

    Honey's on-screen father is played by Nicky Henson, who was married to Stubbs for six years.

    Stubbs said of her new role: "It has been a life-long ambition to be united on screen with Nicky Henson and Barbara Windsor, who are two very good friends of mine."

    "I'm delighted to be joining the cast of EastEnders, having been a fan for many years," she said.

    Stubbs' character is due to appear in the soap in August.
