Sherrie Hewson is eager to secure a part on EastEnders following her character's brutal demise on Hollyoaks earlier this week.

The Loose Women favourite, 75, portrayed Martha Blake in the Channel 4 drama for 17 months before the character suffered a gruesome fate at the hands of her serial killer son Jez Blake (Jeremy Sheffield).

Discussing her concluding scenes, which were broadcast last week, Sherrie commented: "It was quite spectacular, unexpected and it was horrific more than anything else."

Sherrie formerly portrayed Maureen Holdsworth in Coronation Street from 1993 until 1997 and again in 2006 and Lesley Meredith in Emmerdale from 2004 until 2006. View 4 Images READ MORE: Hollyoaks killer Jez Blake's next victim revealed and it's not who you'd expect
