In the 35 years that EastEnders has been on air, many soap icons have been born – but none quite as fabulous as Sharon Mitchell (née Watts). 
28 Reasons EastEnders Sharon Mitchell Is The True Queen Of Albert Square
A Walford original, Letitia Dean’s character started out in Walford as “Den and Angie’s little gewl”, before transforming into a sex bomb who proved to be like catnip to the obsessed Mitchell brothers.
Later years have seen Sharon take on a classic soap matriarch role, but with a saucy twist, as she dangerously embarked upon a clandestine affair with young grease monkey Keanu Taylor behind husband Phil’s back.
After we counted down EastEnders’ 35 greatest characters of all time, there was obviously only one winner, and to celebrate her triumph, we’re remembering all the times she earned her title as the true Queen of Albert Square. 
1. When her son was in the kitchen, eating a biscuit 
2. When she came close to drowning after telling Sonia to go back to Kettering3. She consistently serves face better than anyone who has appeared on RuPaul’s Drag Race4.
