An Oxford Down ewe is all set for its guest appearance in EastEnders next Tuesday.

You won’t be able to miss the little beauty, according to owner Helen Wakefield.

She’ll be seen right in the middle of Albert Square - the storyline is all about her causing havoc, including inside the Queen Vic.

“She's no trained film sheep,” says Helen of of Kensworth in Bedfordshire. "She's just an old farm sheep, who has done some showing and is very quiet and docile, and well halter trained.”

Oxford Downs are a rare breed, with only 60 flocks and less than 1500 breeding ewes - so they could do with some help and she is about to become the most famous sheep in the country, reckons Helen.

The photo shows the seven-year-old ewe, Kensworth Flair, arriving at the world-famous Elstree Studios.

Apparently, Peggy Mitchell – aka Barbara Windsor – said she was “beautiful”.
