Her only contribution to British Televisual history is starring as one half of Den and Angie in EastEnders. Everyone still goes on about that Christmas special where she got handed her divorce papers. 

Since then she has played roles in Red Dwarf, Rab C Nesbitt and her own sitcom series Split Ends, which lasted for only one series. As well as Dangerfield and Sunburn, Casualty Holby City, and Hotel Babylon, Urban Gothic and unsurprisingly for a former EastEnders actress, The Bill.

She also sang over the EastEnders theme song and got a number 4 in the UK charts.

So pretty much EastEnders only then...
