EastEnders star, 49, reveals her ageless looks as she steps out in London 32 YEARS after making her Albert Square debut - but can you guess who it is?


Making an appearance in London on Monday, Nicola Stapleton looked remarkably preserved while shopping with a friend.

But while the BBC show and its revolving cast of characters have changed beyond recognition since troublesome teen Mandy Salter left Albert Square, the actress responsible for bringing her to life clearly hasn't aged a day. The teenager from hell arrived on the Square in 1992 and wasted no time in causing chaos by triggering Ian Beale's nervous breakdown and corrupting naïve boyfriend Aidan before leaving in 1994. The actress also featured as Joe Nardone in Channel 4 show Young Person's Guide to Becoming a Rock Star, and has also taken smaller roles in TV staples Casualty and Hollyoaks.
