The 'EastEnders' actress has opened up on her character's "drunken night of passion" with Zack Morris' alter ego behind Tiffany Butcher (Maisie Smith) and Vinny Panesar's (Shiv Jalota) backs.

She told Digital Spy: "As it is, I don't think this is a long-term thing. I think it's just a night of drunken passion.

"They're both very young and being irresponsible, so I don't know how Keegan and Tiff's relationship will fare if this all gets out.

"Keegan really loves Tiff and he, even more than Dotty, feels so guilty about this. I think he probably does learn his lesson hopefully from this."

The 22-year-old actress admitted even she feels "so bad" for Tiffany, despite knowing she's just playing out a storyline.

She added: "I know it's just a storyline and just a soap, but I genuinely feel so bad for Tiffany.

"I know how much she loves Keegan. They're not only boyfriend and girlfriend, they're married and they got married at such a young age.

"I genuinely think Tiffany is one of those pure, naïve characters. She loves Keegan so much and I think her world will just collapse when she finds out."

Dotty is left horrified tonight (06.08.21) when she gets back home to see Tiffany unconscious after an allergic reaction to her most recent cosmetic procedure.

Reflecting on the immediate fallout of their mistake, Millie said: "It's not like they spend the night together. Keegan leaves within half an hour.

"Reality is hitting them and they're starting to sober up. Dotty's thinking about Vinny, she's thinking about Tiff and she realises that if this comes out, it will ruin everything as it is now."
