Happy Birthday to the brilliant Charlie Brooks—Walford's ultimate villain and everyone's secret favourite! From scheming queen Janine Butcher in EastEnders, your ability to charm us even while plotting mischievous mayhem has kept viewers utterly captivated. Admit it—we all secretly rooted for you!

Beyond Albert Square, your talent continues shining bright with every new adventure on stage or TV. Whether winning over audiences through reality shows like "I'm a Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here!" or lighting up theatres nationwide—you always deliver unbeatable performances.

Here's wishing more thrilling storylines (and fewer cliffhangers!) as fabulous as you are. Cheers!
