Vanessa Feltz's Channel 5 talk show, Vanessa, has been hit by a series of prank calls from viewers impersonating characters from the soap opera EastEnders. The latest incident occurred on Tuesday, 21 April, when a caller pretending to be Sandra Goodwin from the show managed to get on air.
During a discussion about the future of the royal family, Feltz introduced a caller named Sandra from Aberdeenshire. The caller, speaking with a Scottish accent, claimed to be a royalist but expressed doubts about the monarchy's survival. She then veered into a confusing story about her son's birth family and a missing cat named Mini Mo, a reference to an EastEnders plotline.
Feltz, looking perplexed, ended the call, saying, 'I think we'll say goodbye to this call, we seem to have veered off into a strange territory there.' The moment was clipped and shared on social media, with one user commenting on the 'bad blood' between the characters.
This is not the first time the show has been pranked. In March, a caller pretending to be Bea Pollard from EastEnders discussed school reunions, and another impersonated TV personality Kim Woodburn. Channel 5 has a history of such incidents, including a 2018 case where a caller repeatedly used offensive language on The Wright Stuff.
