EastEnders star Barbara Windsor is visiting Eastbourne Pier - to pull pints.

Former Carry On actress Barbara, who now plays landlady Peggy Mitchell in the BBC1 soap, will serve up drinks at the Atlantis Nightclub on the pier on May 10.

It will be the second EastEnders visit within weeks as Sid Owen, rumoured to be making a return as mechanic Ricky Butcher, spent an evening at the Atlantis last month.

Pier general manager Graeme Sanderson said: "We had a great night with Sid and now we're delighted to have Barbara coming too.

"She is incredibly popular with young people and is one of the most sought-after celebrities in showbusiness."
