EastEnders star Tameka Empson couldn’t help but smile as she discussed working with Phil Mitchell star Steve McFadden, revealing that she ‘makes him blush all the time’.
The actress, who plays Kim Fox on the BBC One soap, reflected on her 15 years in Walford thus far and confirmed that the now iconic moment in which Phil delivered her character’s baby is a personal highlight.
‘Do me a favour – we couldn’t stop laughing that day!,’ she told Metro.co.uk in an exclusive chat. ‘I think people think Steve is a very straight guy, do you know what I mean? But I make him blush all the time.
‘I don’t know, maybe he likes me, maybe he fancies me,’ laughed Tameka, ‘there’s something going on.’
Could she be any more iconic?
The answer is yes as, when asked if she was upset about not being a part of The Six story, which saw six of Walford’s most iconic women including Kim’s sister Denise Fox, cover up a murder, Tameka said: ‘Well, let me tell you, they said, “Six”, I said, “Seven?” And they said, “No” and I said, “OK.”
