British soap royalty, Natalie Cassidy is to present her own special show on Virgin Radio UK this Easter.
The Eastenders star who plays Sonia Fowler, will host a one-off show on the station on Easter Monday, 1pm – 4pm.
Ahead of her show, Natalie said: “I’m very excited. This year I’m trying to branch out and do brave things, and this is one of them, and I feel very honoured to have been given a chance on Virgin Radio.
“I’m a very big fan of the station and music in general. So to actually come in and do my own show feels very daunting, but there’s a first time for everything.
“I would love to play Oasis for my first show, just a track, because I love them to pieces. Amy Winehouse is always a good one as well. Valerie, it’s a karaoke family classic.”
Natalie, who recently confirmed her final exit from Eastenders after 32 years, also said what she’d usually be doing on a bank holiday, she explained: “Back in EastEnders we’d be filming, we didn’t really have bank holidays. What holiday? I’d be at home with the kids, relaxing probably. I say relaxing, I don’t really sit down. I’d probably be cleaning and doing the washing.”
Dennie Morris, Director of Audio, News Broadcasting said: “It’s an honour to welcome national treasure Natalie Cassidy to Virgin Radio for this special show – and I’m delighted she’s such a big fan of the station.”
