‘I was an EastEnders star and stripped off on-screen – but now I have a normal job’
EastEnders’ Kierston Wareing played the iconic Kirsty Branning on the BBC soap - but 10 years since her exit from Walford the actress has a rather different side hustle
Former EastEnders star Kierston Wareing was a firm-favourite on the BBC soap.
The actress, played the iconic Kirsty Branning- rocking up to Walford on Christmas Day 2012. As the the third wife of lothario Max Branning (Jake Wood), Kirsty cemented her place as the queen of drama.
She quickly became a hit with fans on the soap too and was involved in several big storylines. Fans will recall how she tricked her beau Max that she was pregnant so he wouldn’t leave her.
But in 2014, Kierston quit the soap – leaving fans gutted. However, the actress at the time claimed it wasn’t her decision “it was theirs.” She told TV Extra: “A new producer came on board and he wanted to shake things up.”
