EastEnders stars record Jacko's Thriller video

Stars from EastEnders today recorded their own version of Michael Jackson’s classic Thriller video.

About a dozen of the cast re-created the spooky antics of the original for a TV charity event.

Among those appearing as zombies are Hannah Waterman, who plays Laura Beale, and Ricky Groves (Garry Hobbs).

Also donning the scary make-up were Nicolas R Bailey (Dr Trueman) and Rudolph Walker (Patrick Trueman).

A BBC spokeswoman said: “They do the whole dance routine made famous in the original video.”

The item will be shown next Friday on Children in Need on BBC1.
