Emma Barton has revealed how she will juggle filming Strictly Come Dancing around her EastEnders commitments.
The actress plays Honey Mitchell on the BBC One soap, and is one of 15 celebrities competing in the 2019 series alongside the likes of former Coronation Street actress Catherine Tyldesley.
And, speaking recently, Emma revealed how she would manage both her EastEnders filming commitments and her new Strictly duties. (Honestly, we're tired just thinking about it...)

"Honey’s not going anywhere; she’s just swapping the tabard for a bit of sparkle for now."
Emma also called her decision to join this year's series "a no-brainer".
"I am the biggest Strictly fan, so when the call came through and they said, 'We would love to have you this year', I thought, 'Oh my goodness, that means I won't be sitting at home with my glass of red wine watching it, I'm actually going to be doing it!'" she added.

"You're learning such an amazing craft from the best people in the business, and you get to dress up in the gorgeous costumes.
"It was a no-brainer really."
