’ Jacqueline Jossa has opened up about the naughty shenanigans her character has been getting up to in the soap. The actress shot to fame playing Lauren Branning on the soap - making her debut in 2010. And it’s fair to say, Lauren has been involved in several big storylines - especially at the moment.
Fans will recall how the character made her return this year after six years away. Lauren rocked back up to Walford with cousin Penny Branning (Kitty Castledine). And it didn’t take long for things to kick off.
A few weeks ago, Lauren ended up sleeping with Zack Hudson (James Farrar) the fiancé of her pregnant best mate Whitney Dean (Shona McGarty). Zack and Lauren had vowed to keep their bonk a secret but after Whitney gave birth last week, her adoptive daughter Britney overheard. At first, she was planning to not say anything, as she didn’t want to destroy Whitney and ruin her "happy ending".
But at Whitney and Zach’s wedding, and right before they said their “I dos" in front of everyone, including Lauren, Britney blurted out the truth. Fuming, Whitney then lashed out at Lauren, slapping her with her bouquet before grabbing her by the hair, and dragging her across the floor. Lauren managed to get up and run off.
Now, Jacqueline has opened up about how Lauren is dealing with all the lies and secrets. And it seems she’s a chip off the old block, especially with Max Branning as her father. Jacqueline was quizzed by RadioTimes.
