NATALIE ON

AFTER EASTENDERS

- BY MARK JEFFERIES

NATALIE Cassidy has revealed she considered applying for work as a Marks & Spencer cashier after she left EastEnders.

She loved the idea of being on the till and chatting to customers as it would be a world away from acting life.

The former soap star said: "I actually have thought about doing a Sunday afternoon on the till at M&S. It would be brilliant. I'd have to be on till number 13 because that is my lucky number.

"I would love it but I don't think you can just do one day though. I love M&S. If I wasn't doing this acting I'd be working in Marks probably."

The star, 42, quit the BBC soap back in April after playing Albert Square favourite Sonia Fowler for 32 years.

Not surprisingly, offers have flooded in for the TV favourite who lives with her partner Marc Humphreys and their daughters Eliza, 15, and Joanie, nine.

She revealed: "Marc doesn't get that involved with my stuff to be honest.

"He will go, 'That's your stuff. I am really proud that you get on with that'.

"We work like yin and yang. If he was 100 miles an hour like me it just would not work so he is Mr Laidback.

"But family comes first. So me and Marc were asked to do Celebrity Race Across The World but I cannot leave the children. I mean you're away for a month or six weeks. It's a long time.

DOCUMENTARY

"I also had something through for Channel 5. It was for a detective series but it was seven weeks in Ireland. I am not going to Ireland for seven weeks, am I? Family comes first with me."
