Barbara Windsor has resisted attempts made by Eastenders bosses to sex up her character Peggy Mitchell.

The News Of The World reports that script writers had written some very risqué scenes for Peggy and Archie Mitchel, but Barbara Windsor refused to take part.

“Viewers don’t want to see a woman my age kissing and being intimate,” Windsor said.

“They only want to see young people they fancy like Stacey (Lacey Turner), God bless her – not me. So I have all that cut.”

“Larry and I saw a couple of things in the script and we looked at each other and said, ‘Are you kidding? In the bedroom? No thank you!’ So we had that taken out.

“People know we’re in our late sixties – I mean I’m not, I’m in my seventies – and they don’t want to see that.”
