EastEnders fans may be surprised to learn that Alice Haig, who plays Vicki Fowler on the BBC soap, is the daughter of two well-known actors. Her father is acclaimed actor and playwright David Haig, 70, who has enjoyed a distinguished 46-year career in entertainment. David Haig rose to prominence in 1994 playing Bernard Delaney in the beloved romantic comedy Four Weddings and a Funeral, and has since appeared in productions such as Killing Eve, the first Downton Abbey film, and the Sky One political thriller COBRA.
Alice's mother is actress Jane Galloway, 76, who also appeared on EastEnders in 2006 as Dr. Weisberg. Jane Galloway has taken on supporting roles in British television shows including The Last Detective, Doctors, Casualty, The Bill, Bad Girls, and The Vicar of Dibley, as well as the US sitcom 3rd Rock from the Sun.
Alice Haig joined the cast of EastEnders last year as Vicki Fowler, the biological daughter of Den Watts. In recent episodes, Vicki's fairytale wedding to Ross Marshall was derailed when her secret affair with Zack Hudson was exposed at the altar. The revelation left the wedding party stunned, particularly Sharon Watts, who is connected to both Vicki and Zack through family ties.
Alice is one of five children born to David Haig and his wife Julia Gray, who performs under the stage name Jane Galloway. The family's showbusiness pedigree is evident, with both parents having extensive credits in film, television, and theatre.
