Natalie Cassidy has been on our screens for over 30 years, thanks to her role as Sonia Fowler in EastEnders. Now she’s putting her experience and passion for TV into a new project, teaming up with fellow actor Joanna Page for the podcast Off the Telly, which Natalie, 40, describes as a ‘fun and easy’ listen.
When we chat to Natalie, who is mum to Eliza, 13, and seven-year-old Joanie, she’s just as down to earth as her soap character is on-screen. Here, she tells the reason she isn’t in a rush to career and how her mindset changed after turning 40.
