'EastEnders' actress Rita Simons has said that she is "absolutely dreading" the exit of her co-star Samantha Womack.
Speaking to Digital Spy, Simons, who plays Roxy Mitchell in the show, said that she will miss working with Womack, who plays her on-screen sister Ronnie.
Simons said of Womack's departure: "Oh, it's going to be awful. I'm dreading it, I'm absolutely dreading it."
"She really is like my sister, and even though I'm sure it'll be fine as I have so many friends here, to think that she won't be around is really quite depressing! But I'll have to get on with it!"
