New "low-life" family join 'EastEnders'
EastEnders producers are bringing in a new controversial family to try and boost flagging ratings, The Sun claims today.

The new clan are related to wheeler-dealer Mickey Miller (Joe Swash) and are said to be so "low-life" that they "make the Slaters look like royalty."

Among those moving into the Square are Mickey's mum, dad and younger brother, as well as his 13-year-old sister, who is seven months pregnant.

"They are a real bunch of scruffs," a source told the newspaper. "They arrive with a flea-bitten Irish wolfhound in a battered old ice cream van driven by Mickey. The first out of the van is the pregnant 13-year-old and within minutes she is the talk of the Queen Vic."

The Millers will be seen on screens from September.
