A former EastEnders actress is taking on a different role from her character in Albert Square, and she dazzled on The One Show sofa with her co-star. Tilly Keeper, 25, played Louise Mitchell in the BBC One soap from 2015 until her dramatic exit in January 2020.
Her harrowing storylines included her father Phil's alcoholism, being in a bus crash, getting caught in a fire causing her to have permanent burns, her mother Lisa's mental health issues and becoming pregnant with Keanu Taylor's child.
She played a pivotal role at Christmas 2019 when she discovered that Keanu had been sleeping with her stepmother Sharon Mitchell and was the father of her unborn child. After double-crossing Keanu and leaving him for dead, Louise departed to Portugal to escape imprisonment.

Tilly will be returning to screens on Thursday in the Netflix thriller series You with Penn Badgley in the leading role as Joe Goldberg. Tilly plays socialite Lady Phoebe Borehall-Blaxworth in the fourth series as deadly serial killer Joe works his charm in London.
"By chance she meets him on night out and she's quite charmed by him," she explained to The One Show hosts Alex Jones and Lauren Laverne. "She decides he's her new best friend and gets tangled up in all the killings and drama that follow him."
Tilly looked stunning in a dark red figure-hugging dress with her honey blonde tresses cascading in waves. She said she was delighted to join the cast after being a big fan of You, which launched in 2018.
Seated alongside her, looking dapper in a dark suit and tie, American actor Penn, 36, revealed secrets behind the show. You has Penn narrating his creepy killer character Joe's inner monologue.
Asked about which comes first, the narration or the acting, he explained: "I go into vocal booth and record sometimes two or three episodes at a time at different levels. I don't think about how I'm going to act and when I shoot the episdes I don't concern myself with what I've done there."
Fan @Rosy7859 tweeted with excitement about seeing the You stars on the sofa, exclaiming: "Ooft!". And The Bi-Manc said with a stream of love-heart eyes emojis "Tilly Keeper on #TheOneShow."
