Former 'EastEnders' star Barbara Windsor is reported to have described the soap's controversial baby swap storyline as "a disgrace".
The Mirror says that while appearing in panto at the Bristol Hippodrome, Windsor ad-libbed to the audience: "Are you watching 'EastEnders' at the moment? Urrrgh. God help us."
She is reported to have said to a theatre-goer backstage: "'EastEnders' doesn't need to shock to get figures, it should stick to what it's good at - comedy and pathos.
"Someone's lost the plot and it makes me so sad. This isn't the show I know and love. It is a disgrace and I just hope they get back to doing what they do best."
