Do you remember Lionel Blair? I can vaguely recall him tap dancing on some light entertainment show with a lady called Una Stubbs…..don’t ask me which show or channel, I can’t remember and can’t be bothered to google it.

Anyway, Lionel has revealed today that he may be set to make an appearance on BBC soap opera, Eastenders as none other than the dad of Roxy and Ronnie Mitchell.

Lionel, 76, who recently made a guest appearance in rival ITV soap Emmerdale, told The Sun: “There’s been some talk about me going into EastEnders as Ronnie and Roxy’s dad.

“I would love that.”

The star added: “I have been an actor since I was a young boy - before I became a dancer.”
