Denise and Kim

Diane Parish and Tameka Empson, aka Denise and Kim Fox, join Stacey Dooley for a reunion, reliving classic scenes and revealing juicy behind-the-scenes gossip.

Stacey Dooley chats to some of Walford’s biggest stars, reliving some of their most iconic moments, sharing juicy behind-the-scenes gossip and revealing some of the show’s best kept secrets.

This week, Stacey is joined by Diane Parish and Tameka Empson, aka sisters Denise and Kim Fox, for a very big socially-distanced reunion, as Tameka returns to set for the first time since 2019.

Picking up just where they left off, the stars reveal all about their close working relationship and tell the stories behind some of their biggest moments – from Tameka reliving her infamous live labour scenes for the 30th anniversary to Diane explaining why she once had to pretend to all her friends and family that she had quit the show.

Diane recalls the pair’s first meeting, long before working together on EastEnders, even if Tameka doesn’t remember it herself. Tameka reveals how blagging helped win her a role on the show, and – with Kim currently living in Scotland – the trio marvel at Tameka’s attempts at a Scottish accent.

As well as looking back at all the best Fox family drama over the years, the duo break into Albert Square’s very own hair salon – Fox and Hair – to give Stacey an exclusive behind-the-scenes tour.
