Jaime Winstone believes she's playing Peggy again with Barbara Windsor's approval Jaime Winstone has admitted it is emotional reprising her role as a young Peggy Mitchell in EastEnders - saying she feels like Barbara Windsor "gives her the go-ahead" as soon as she puts on the wig.
Alongside Jaime, George Russo (Eric Mitchell), Daniel Delaney (Phil Mitchell) and Teddy Jay (Grant Mitchell) also return to reprise their roles of the younger Mitchell clan.
* Jaime Winstone appears on EastEnders as Peggy Mitchell in Thursday night's episode of EastEnders on BBC1 and BBC iPlayer.
She then took on Babs' Peggy Mitchell EastEnders role in a 2022 flashback episode and will return on Thursday night again to the BBC1 soap.
I had to separate me knowing Barbara Windsor in real life, playing Barbara in 'Babs' and taking on the role of Peggy now twice.
