Hosting the show
Speaking about hosting the new show, Stacey said: “I’m delighted to be hosting Secrets from the Square. I grew up watching EastEnders, so walking on Albert Square was a surreal experience as well as taking a trip down memory lane and interviewing some of the legends has been great. I’ve loved every minute of it.”
Katie Phillips, Controller of BBC Entertainment said: “EastEnders has been the heart of BBC One since it’s inception 35 years ago.
She continued: “While going off air was never in their plan, we and the EastEnders team knew straight away that this would be the perfect opportunity to celebrate the show, look back on cherished memories of all those momentous episodes whilst taking a look around Albert Square and they may just give us some teasers of what’s to come in the show.”
EastEnders is on Monday at 8pm and Tuesday at 7.30pm on BBC One.
