EastEnders‘ Natalie Cassidy has spoken on her close relationship to the crew of the show in the latest

instalment of her podcast, Life with Nat.

Speaking with her partner Marc Humphreys, who is a TV cameraman, Cassidy voiced her interest in all

departments of TV-making.

“The crew are more my friends than anyone else,” she said. “I’m very interested in every part of it and how it goes together. I think also once you’ve worked somewhere for 30 years, give and take.”

The Sonia Fowler star also admitted she likes to get involved on set, describing herself as “very nosy”.

“I just like to keep myself occupied, which also is not always a good thing because you’re actually getting involved in someone else’s job quite a lot of the time. I’m very nosy and I do get involved in things I probably shouldn’t,” she explained.

“You should really let people get on with their own jobs. No one steps in and does my lines… I’ve got a keen interest in every department, a very keen interest in directors.”

She went on to praise the sound department who, in her opinion, doesn’t get their due on set as often as other teams.

“I’m going to be told off now, by someone. It’s the one that always gets forgotten about in my eyes, the sound department,” Cassidy said.

“I just feel that lighting has their time, cameras have their time and the boom guys, the ops, just get on with it. I never hear them moaning.”
