Soap Clan Connections
EastEnders fans recently discovered that actress Kitty Castledine, who plays Penny Branning on the show, hails from a well-known family in real life. Not only is she part of a soap opera dynasty on screen, but her off-screen relatives are also in the public eye.
Family Ties
Kitty's mother is the renowned daytime TV personality Lucy Alexander, while her father is the former professional footballer turned presenter Stewart Castledine. Lucy, best known for her role on "Homes Under The Hammer," and Stewart, who played for Wimbledon and Wycombe Wanderers, tied the knot in 2000 and welcomed Kitty in 2002.
Sibling Success
Kitty's younger brother, Leo, has also made a name for himself in the world of sports. Following in his father's footsteps, Leo is a professional footballer currently playing for Shrewsbury Town on loan from Chelsea. Previously a youth player at Wimbledon, Leo is carving out his own path in the football realm.
On-Screen Drama
While Kitty's character Penny Branning is facing turmoil on EastEnders, dealing with family betrayal and plotting revenge, in real life, she is part of a talented and accomplished family that has excelled in the worlds of television and sports.
EastEnders fans can catch Kitty Castledine in action on BBC One and iPlayer, as Penny navigates the dramatic twists and turns of life in Albert Square.
