Kara Tointon. Heard that name before? Nope. Okay. How about Dawn Swann? There you go. Tointon played Swann for four years in Eastenders, single-handedly keeping warm blooded males interested in the tawdry soap. Because let’s face it, Mo Slater ain’t what she was. But Essex-girl Tointon has come a long way since she was first fed to Peggy Mitchell and the other destroyers of hope and good will on Albert Square. And with a victorious appearance on Strictly Come Dancing plus a celebratory appearance on the cover of FHM’s August 2009 issue behind her, you’d think she’d take some stopping in her mission to take over the world. We all know that.

During her time on Eastenders, Kara was knocked up, abducted, engaged, went into labour on the tube, had psychiatric treatment and posed as Ian Beale’s wife.
She’s been in a McDonald’s advert.
She used to date James Bourne from Busted. But we, you know, had a word.
