Part 2 of this week’s Soap From The Box double bill features Deena Payne who played Viv Hope in Emmerdale for 18 years. 

Lee and Deena chat about her using a cockney accent in her Emmerdale audition, chemistry with her onscreen husband Bob, her early days in girl-band Cats UK and recent work on Calendar Girls, plus meeting the Queen - twice!

There’s also surprise messages from some very special friends and Deena talks about her work as a Naturopath, giving advice on healthy habits and diet.
