EastEnders’ Natalie Cassidy brands Bruno Tonioli a ‘liar’ as pair clash on Blankety Blank

EASTENDERS' Natalie Cassidy slammed Bruno Tonioli as a "liar" when the pair clashed during an episode of Blankety Blank.

Joining the panel this week was comedian Jo Brand, actress Natalie Cassidy, TV personality Sara Davies, presenter Konnie Huq, reality TV star Jamie Laing and Strictly Come Dancing judge Bruno Tonioli.

During Saturday's episode of the BBC comedy gameshow, hosted by Bradley Walsh, EastEnders' actress Natalie Cassidy jokingly called Bruno a "liar".

As Bradley introduced the celebrity guests on the show, he asked them if they had "worked together before" or "knew each other" when Bruno quickly responded: "I know something!"

He went on to explain that he had worked with TV personality Sara Davies saying she's "practically a prima ballerina, she has the best posture".

Natalie was quick to hit back at this as she jokingly chimed in: "You didn't say that about me when I did it."

The jibe was met with laughter from everyone in the studio as Bradley asked Natalie about her time working with Bruno on Strictly.

She said: "This one was a judge," before Bruno jumped in: "I was very nice to you."

Natalie then jokingly said: "You liar," as she gave an unimpressed look to the cameras.

Bruno hit back and exclaimed: "I adored you!"

Natalie was a contestant on the seventh series of  in 2009, and the ninth series of Celebrity Big Brother.

Her professional partner was Vincent Simone and she was voted off the competition in fifth place on November 28, 2009.

Natalie then joined ex-EastEnders actor James Alexandrou and Nina Wadia to create comedy shorts for BBC Raw Words, an adult literacy website.
