Michelle appeared on Good Morning Britain on Friday and discussed what June was like behind the scenes.

The Ex-EastEnders actress told hosts Kate Garraway and Adil Ray: "It's difficult as it's a breakfast show, June was a very naughty lady!

"She was just really funny. She was obsessed with fitness, people don't know that she was quite healthy even though she smoked.

"She used to do her pelvic floors in the EastEnders canteen."

June's co stars shared their sadness over the loss of the soap legend.

"Just purely and simply an incredible woman who had the most incredible life and career, I was fortunate to have shared a small part of it.
