The Mayor of London, Borsi Johnson is to make a cameo appearance on BBC’s Eastenders.

Aspart of Peggy Mitchell’s quest for local government, Boris shows up in the Queen Vic for a scene with the gorgeous Barbara Windsor.

Mr Johnson told BBC: “It was, of course, a tremendous honour to step inside that most venerable of London landmarks, the Queen Vic, and share a scene with another of the capital’s icons, the fabulous Barbara Windsor.”

EastEnders executive producer Diederick Santer said: “EastEnders does its best to reflect contemporary London, and we hope that meeting the mayor will help us stay ahead with the latest London stories, policies and developments.

“We couldn’t let the visit pass without the mayor entering London’s most famous pub, the Queen Vic, and meeting its formidable and politically-active landlady Peggy Mitchell.”
