Since the rumours first started circulating that the EastEnders storyline about a charity calendar was actually something that was going to happen in real life, we’ve been dying to see the pictures.
Now it has been announced that the somewhat risqué calendar, which also features in the EastEnders storyline, has gone on sale this week.
Money raised by sales of the calendar will go towards raising funds for BBC’s Children in Need and the bosses of the popular show have released a small selection of shots from the calendar which includes a snap of a very buff Ben Hardy (Peter Beale) who poses for the month of May.
Other stars to feature in the newly-released pictures include Natalie Cassidy (Sonia) who features for the month of February while Shona McGarty (Whitney) and Jacqueline Jossa (Lauren) were snapped for August.
“Everybody who took part in the calendar had a blast, and everyone should have a cheesy EastEnders calendar on their wall for 2015,” said Natalie. “Go and buy one because it’s brilliant, and you’re raising money for a wonderful cause.”
“When we developed our calendar storyline featuring so many of Albert Square’s residents as viewers have never seen them before, it seemed such a shame not share the fun with our audience,” said executive producer Dominic Treadwell-Collins.
“It’s been a long time since EastEnders released a calendar, and this is the perfect opportunity for EastEnders fans to get hold of something a little special while raising money for such a worthwhile cause,” he added.
