EastEnders legend, Elizabeth Kelly, has died.
Kelly, who famously played Nellie Ellis on the soap, was 104.
She starred as Pauline Fowler’s sharp-tongued aunt on EastEnders for seven years.
Kelly also appeared in Coronation Street as Edie Burgess and had appearances in Home and Away, Grange Hill, Emerdale, and The Bill.
She also starred in the iconic cult film, 24 Hour Party People.
However it is EastEnders for which she will be best known, having starred in a whopping 138 episodes.
It has been reported that while her death has only just been publicly announced, the actress died on Christmas Day from ‘old age’.
She had a ‘very peaceful death’, a source explained.
Her funeral is set to take place later this month.
