<\/p>\nEASTENDERS is one of the country's most-loved soaps, so it's no wonder our biggest stars have wanted a piece of the action.<\/p>\n
Here, we run down some of the programme's biggest cameos over 38 years – from Boris Johnson to Amanda Holden and David Walliams.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Boris appeared on the show in October 2009 in a rare acting role – as himself – opposite Albert Square legend Peggy Mitchell.<\/p>\n
However, when he did make it through the doors of the famous boozer she was nothing but sweetness and light.<\/p>\n
Peggy welcomed him, saying: "It's such an honour to have you here, Mr Mayor," to which he replied: "Oh please, call me Boris."<\/p>\n
Pointing at the pint of bitter he ordered, she said: "Lucky for me your bike got a puncture. Now, would you like a top up?"<\/p>\n
When he declined, she went on: "Oh I do so admire a man who devotes his life to serving society. I nearly went into politics myself, you know."<\/p>\n Reaching into his pocket, Boris replied: "Really? Well if you have any ideas for how I could help Walford, here's my card."<\/p>\n She told him: "Oh, I wouldn't dream of telling the Mayor of London what to do. Thank you so much."<\/p>\n Amanda's first job after drama school was a stint on EastEnders.<\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n The Heart FM presenter reminisced on her experience while speaking with her co-hosts Jamie Theakston and Ashley Roberts in 2020.<\/p>\n Amanda\u00a0even claimed she rubbed shoulders with the likes of Ian Beale while manning a stall in Walford.<\/p>\n The Britain's Got Talent judge said: "I had to look after someone's stall for half an hour which was like four episodes or something.<\/p>\n "Ian Beale, I looked after a jewellery stall and he had his fruit and veg, there was a lot of messing around with rude fruit, that's all I'm going to say.<\/p>\n "I had a lot of fun, it was a nice show to do."<\/p>\n David dropped by for Christmas Day in 2003, when Kat and Alfie Moon were getting married.<\/p>\n The children's writer played Ray, a fake registrar hired because Alfie\u2019s divorce hadn\u2019t been finalised yet.<\/p>\n As expected, the truth came to light and the ceremony was swiftly cut short.<\/p>\n There might not be any footage of David's gig online, but there are some images online of him in action.<\/p>\n Nick took up a soap-bombing challenge\u00a0when he was the Radio 1 Breakfast Show host.<\/p>\n He hilariously appeared as a caretaker in the background of a 2013 episode.<\/p>\n The TV personality walked through an OAP Christmas party behind Patrick Trueman and Cora Cross.<\/p>\n Nick went on to secure cameos on Corrie, Emmerdale, Hollyoaks – and even Home and Away.<\/p>\n Robbie's certainly been vocal of his love for EastEnders over the years.<\/p>\n![](\"https:\/\/www.thesun.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/cindy.jpg\")
