Pam St. Clement has said she doesn't own a pair of her EastEnders' character Pat Butcher's trademark earrings, as she gave them all to charity.

The actress is much-loved and known as playing the Walford stalwart in the BBC One soap, and despite being gifted several pairs of earrings when she left the show in 2012, Pam used the oversized jewellery to raise money for good causes.

Speaking on TV chat show Lorraine, she revealed: "They are the property of the BBC costume department, so they had most of them and they need them for archive as well. But they said to me when I went, 'Would you like to take some for charities?' So they gave me about half a dozen pairs which were snapped up fairly rapidly I have to say. And I have none left."

Pam acted in the soap for 25 and a half years before bowing out, and believes that it'll be her defining role because of the time spent playing the character.

"It was over a quarter of a century of my life so it's got to be an important part of my life and I suppose it's in people's minds because they see you so frequently as that character."
