Eastenders' Roxy says she is 'boring'

In Eastenders, bed-hopping barmaid Roxy may be a wild card, but in real life the actress who plays her, Rita Simons, claims she is boring.

Man-eater Roxy has already seduced two of Albert Square's most gorgeous male residents and she is about to be at the centre of a sensational new storyline.

However 31-year-old platinum blonde Rita says that since she became a mother she has become a lot more low-key.

She told The Mirror: "Being a mum has made me boring. I used to be outrageous, quite wild and I loved to party. I was mouthy like Roxy and up for a good time.

"Now I'm more likely to spend my nights off in front of the TV with my husband Theo and a glass of wine. The kids have tamed me. But I wouldn't swap what I have for anything."
