EastEnders' Charlie Brooks looks nothing like Janine as she glams up for red carpet

EastEnders actress Charlie Brooks looked sensational as she stepped out at the Mirror's Pride of Britain Awards.

The soap star, who is best known for playing conniving character Janine Butcher, turned heads as she stepped on stage and added her own glam to her look - setting her worlds apart from the look of her well-known character.

Appearing on stage, the 40-year-old actress wore a bandeau black jump suit and stylish yellow heels for the event.

Sharing her thoughts on the event on Instagram she said: "Last night @prideofbritain. Amazing stories and achievements shared and celebrated. Not a dry eye in the house.

"Ordinary people doing extraordinary things. Totally inspired. Thank you for having me."

Charlie has recently returned to Albert Square resuming her role as Janine after a seven year break after proving a popular character and part of the show's DNA.
