Only recently, EastEnders star Harriet Thorpe appeared on Loose Women, where she spoke about her famous sister who is also an actress and previously appeared on the BBC One soap
The actress, 67, who is best known for her role of Fleur in Absolutely Fabulous, plays fiery Elaine Peacock in Albert Square, who is the protective on-screen mother of Linda Carter, played by Kellie Bright.
Talking about her childhood, where her family relocated to Los Angeles, Harriet said: "My sister and I, who is also an actress, Matilda Thorpe, we were little children at a normal state primary school. Do you remember the food? It was all sort of grey? Memories! Harriet's sister, Matilda Thorpe, has certainly followed in her sibling's footsteps and also has an impressive acting career.
However, in a coincidence, Matilda's early career saw her land a role in EastEnders years before her sister Harriet's debut. Matilda played the part of Rachel Ford on the BBC One soap back in 1998.
