Corrie actress is obsessed with EastEnders

Coronation Street actress Tracy Shaw says she's obsessed with EastEnders.

Shaw, who plays Maxine Peacock, says she's been glued to the happenings in Albert Square.

She has even admitted to having to stop watching the BBC soap to film scenes for its ITV1 rival.

"I watch all the soaps and I've been particularly gripped by EastEnders lately," she said.

"If it's on while I am filming, I have to be dragged out to do my scenes."

Shaw has also admitted she doesn't expect her characters marriage to Ashley to last.

"I think it's safe to assume that as Maxine has already had a couple of affairs, she'll no longer be married to Ashley in 10 years," she said.
