About this episode

Natalie Cassidy discusses her recent projects and the support she's received throughout her career.

Natalie Cassidy is having a moment - last month she appeared on stage at The Mighty Hoopla in a wedding dress playing the trumpet - a nod to her many years as Sonia Fowler in EastEnders. Her status as one of the younger huns is surely undeniable and she's now playing a leading role in Ricky Gervais' new animated project. Natalie's always honest, and in this chat she opens up about the people who've helped her on her way, and what the future holds. Alley Cats is an adult animated comedy created by Ricky Gervais, premiering on Netflix on August 7, 2026 Cheers Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
