A repeat of Babs, a film about the life of British actress Dame Barbara Windsor, 82, will air on BBC One at 8.30pm tonight, Tuesday, August 18. The biopic originally came out in 2017, to coincide with the former EastEnders star’s 80th birthday.

The film, written by EastEnders scriptwriter Tony Jordan, focuses on Barbara’s life in the 1990s and her rise to fame as part of the Carry One cast.

Upon the announcement of the film, the actress spoke of her “delight” Jordan had been chosen to write the screenplay.

Upon the announcement of the film, the actress said: “Tony knows the real me and what makes me tick and I was particularly taken by the way he wants to tell my tale which is not in the way people will expect it to be.

“I am honoured and excited that Tony and the BBC have commissioned this.”

“I walk around, trying to keep busy, then burst in to tears. It feels like a bereavement.

“It’s always been my biggest fear that one day I would have to take her somewhere and she’d be thinking: ‘Why would he do this to me?’

“That fear has become a reality. It’s something I never wanted.”

Speaking of the day he left Barbara at the home, Scott said: “I’ll never forget the feeling of emptiness.

“I felt sick in the pit of my stomach that I’d left her. I still feel like that.

“By the time I got home and went to bed, I just felt desperately sad.

“It’s been 27 years since we met and we spent so much of that time in each other’s company. It feels like another chapter has gone.”
