EastEnders stalwart Dot Branning has become a pin-up girl after actress June Brown stripped off to support Children In Need.

The 87-year-old, who has played Dot in the BBC soap for decades, donned her curlers but not a lot else when she posed in the laundrette with co-star Davood Ghadami, who plays Kush Kazemi.

They joined other cast members to pose for an EastEnders calendar being sold in aid of the charity.

Viewers of the soap have seen Kush and Sonia - played by Natalie Cassidy - encourage the Albert Square locals to pose for a charity calendar, and show bosses decided life should imitate art.

The calenders are on sale now for £10 with at least half of that going to BBC Children In Need.
