Linda’s Page 3 storyline
She said: “This shot here, this shot here, running here. We did this once and my chicken fillet fell through my bra onto the road and I saw it and thought ‘oh no!’ Then I carried on running.
“I kicked it to the kerb and do you know what? The funny thing was I’m not well-endowed, I don’t mind not being well-endowed but they had written this back story for Linda where she had been an ex-Page Three girl, right?”
Explaining the plans for the storyline, Kellie continued: “So there was this whole story planned where these pictures were gonna emerge of when Linda had been a Page Three girl from years ago. So I had to have a bust.
“And as we were running along and I can remember being absolutely mortified, in hysterics but sort of mortified because I didn’t know everybody that well.”
Whilst the storyline never made it to screens, the Carter family have had their share of excellent storylines over the years.
