Kacey Ainsworth hits out and blasts EastEnders in furious tweet despite rumours of a return to the BBC soap
The actress didn't hold back
ACTRESS Kacey Ainsworth has hit out at EastEnders in a furious tweet – despite rumours of a return to the show.
The soap star, 55, played Maureen ‘Little Mo’ Slater in Albert Square between 2000 and 2006.
In a seething post, the actress took aim at theatrical website WhatsOnStage for only recognising her role in EastEnders.
“This is why working class actresses can’t move on,” the actress penned on X, formerly Twitter.
“Despite having performed in at least 10 plays, five films, nine series of Grantchester, countless other TV and radio performances, my credit is still EastEnders.
“FFS!”
Kacey’s character Little Mo left the Square after her then husband Billy Mitchell couldn’t face looking after her son Freddie, after he learned he was her rapist’s Graham’s child.
Since leaving the BBC One show, Kasey has since gone on to star in a number of theatre and TV roles.
Last year, the actress was coy when asked if she would consider returning to Walford.
Speaking to the Daily Star, Kasey said: “I’ve done so much since I’ve left.
“I’m a regular in an ITV series that’s now…we’re onto our seventh series of that.
“I’ve done so many things. Mrs Lovitt [in Sweeney Todd at the Everyman Theatre], I’ve just finished a play called Lava in London.”
She added that she doesn’t think there’s “room” for a soaps return at present, but did not rule it out completely.
It comes after the soap’s viewers were sent into a frenzy after fan favourite Jay Brown was caught up in a devastating car crash.
Actor Jamie Borthwick added fuel to the fire with an Instagram post but his followers have seen right through him.
Elsewhere, the show has been caught up in an embarrassing blunder as a part of the studio fans aren’t meant to see appeared on screen.
