When asked by the daytime TV host, Kara responded: “[Well], I never got killed off!

“I’d never say never to anything. I’m lucky I’ve got to the point where I can do a bit of theatre and film and different things.”

Kara joined the soap in 2005 as feisty Dawn Swann and starred on the show for four years alongside on-screen brother Micky played by Joe Swash.

: “There was a point after EastEnders that I strongly considered giving up on acting and resorting to my plan B, training to be an interior designer. At that point, I started to think it wasn't going to happen for me.

"After you've been in a soap, people can assume you can't do anything else, because you're associated with your TV character.

"It can be demoralising, going to audition after audition and getting rejected, and you have to be pretty strong to carry on in this business."

: “It’s like Downtown Abbey on acid!”
