Kellie Bright – Linda Carter from EastEnders

Talent meets beauty in Kelly Bright, an English actress who’s spent the last eight years of her career portraying the character of Linda Carter in EastEnders. She was a recognizable screen performer even before joining the soap, though, as she’d worked in Bad Girls, Ali G, Horde & Corden, and The House That Jack Built (just to name a few).

An award-winning soap superstar, Bright is a few episodes away from reaching the landmark of 1,000 EastEnders appearances. A 45-year-old woman at her prime, Bright was also popularized by her successful Strictly Come Dancing participation, in which she was the runner-up.
