EastEnders icon is worlds away from Walford as she glams up for surprise SAG Awards appearance
AN EastEnders legend looked incredible as she glammed up for a surprise appearance at Hollywood’s SAG Awards.
Annette Badland, 73, looked exquisite as she stunned on the red carpet having bagged herself a nomination at the event.
The acclaimed actress looked worlds away from her days as down-trodden villain Aunt Babe on the BBC soap opera.
Annette looked more glam than ever as she opted for a floor-length shirt-style gown as she posed for photographers at the glitzy movie event.
She turned heads with her unexpected appearance at the awards do but made sure to make an impact with her statement look.
Looking completely different to Aunt Babe and her trademark bouncy bob, Annette wore her hair in effortlessly styled curls that added a gracious touch of glass to her extraordinary look.
She added a dash of light make-up to her face as she showed off her youthful complexion as she oozed sophistication at the A-list bash.
EastEnders fans were left stunned upon realising that one of Walford’s most-loved former residents had made their way across the pond to attend the prestigious ceremony.
Annette was nominated for her part in the AppleTV+ series Ted Lasso.
She and her co-stars were up for the gong of Outstanding Performance by an Ensemble in a Comedy Series.
It marks the third time that Annette and her co-stars have been nominated for a SAG Award.
They won in 2022 but were beaten by the cost of the bear over the weekend.
Annette also found herself nominated for an award at the ceremony back in 1999.
Her role in Little Voice saw her bag a similar nomination for Outstanding Performance by a Cast in a Motion Picture.
Annette has had a glittering career and has appeared in countless TV shows and films over the years.
Her role as Aunt Babe in EastEnders won the actress a legion of fans thanks to her devil-ish ways and many Square feuds.
Babe found herself embroiled in countless arguments and rows including with Claudette Hubbard, Pam and Les Coker, Abi Branning and Sylvie Carter.
She appeared in the role between 2014 and 207 and since then BBC viewers have been left begging for her to make an epic comeback.
