Kim Medcalf 'amazed EastEnders fans remember her'

Former EastEnders star Kim Medcalf has revealed that fans still approach her in public.

The actress, who played Sam Mitchell for three years from 2002, admitted that she is surprised people still remember her from the BBC One soap.

"I'm still completely amazed that people know me from the show!" Medcalf told Inside Soap magazine. "The public often want to talk about Sam.

"I left six years ago, so it always surprises me that people might still remember me from that. But I suppose that's the power of EastEnders, isn't it?

"My favourite moments on the show were all to do with the scenes involving Tracy-Ann Oberman [Chrissie Watts] and Michelle Ryan [Zoe Slater] during the infamous Dirty Den murder plot.

"We worked extremely long hours when that storyline was happening, but we all giggled our way through it. The three of us were the witches of Walford - and we loved every second of it!"

Medcalf, who took over the role of Sam from Daniella Westbrook, is currently starring in West End musical Crazy For You.
