MY WEEKEND

Tilly Keeper

T

illy made her TV debut in CBBC’s

Millie Inbetween, but is best

known for her role as Louise

Mitchell in EastEnders. The

actress joined the BBC soap in 2016

as the daughter of Phil and his ex

Lisa Fowler, and in the last year

her character has endured kidnap,

pregnancy and a roller-coaster romance

in Walford. Tilly, 21, lives in southeast

London with her family.

‘Most of the time we film EastEnders from

Monday to Friday, but we can work on

a Saturday depending on the storyline.

Normally filming stops at about 7pm on

a Friday evening. I live quite far away from

the set in Watford, so I go straight home

for the evening, have dinner and head to

bed. I’m not a post-work drinks kind of girl

• I haven’t got the energy!
  ‘I tend to get up at about 9am on a
  Saturday. On a bad day I might lie in until
  11am. I like to potter around the house, have
  a cup of green tea and watch a bit of Friends.
  ‘There’s not a lot of cool things to do in my
  area. I live in a very quiet place. One of my
  best friends lives next door, so we normally
  meet up with some other mates that I keep
  in touch with from school for a gossip.
  ‘When I turned 21 I thought I was done with
  clubbing, but I don’t think that’s entirely true.
  I enjoy going out in London with Jasmine
  Armfield (Rebecca Fowler) and Amy-Leigh
  Hickman (Linzi Bragg) from EastEnders.
  We love a good rooftop bar in the summer.
  ‘Sunday is my favourite day of the week.
  In lovely weather I spend the morning at
  Columbia Road Flower Market in London
  and have a walk down Brick Lane.
  ‘At some point, I’ll need to sit down, read
  my scripts and learn my lines. There’s plenty
  more drama ahead for Louise. She’s pregnant
  with Keanu’s child and excited but, deep
  down, she is struggling. It’s only a matter of
  time before she needs to tell her mum the
  truth, and she’s not sure how she’ll react!’

EastEnders is on Mon, Tues, Thurs and Fri

on BBC1.
