Lee is joined by Shobna Gulati who played Sunita Alahan in Coronation Street.

They chat about Snoop Dogg’s love of Corrie, how Barbara Windsor was always supportive, being cast for Eastenders and Corrie in the same week and appearing in both a Boy George video and Bollywood.

Shobna also tells all about her iconic role in Dinnerladies, her work in soon to be released feature film Everyone’s Talking About Jamie and her book Remember Me?: Discovering My Mother As She Lost Her Memory.

They reminisce about Shobna’s appearance in the Children In Need special East Street, that combined Eastenders and Corrie and was directed by Lee.  Relive it here:
