EastEnders’ Natalie Cassidy places a towel on her head and sings in her kitchen

She is known for playing Sonia Fowler on EastEnders. 

And Natalie Cassidy swapped acting for singing on Friday as she pranced around her kitchen at home with a towel on her head, while performing The Sound Of Music classic, My Favourite Things. 

The actress, 37, confessed she is ‘cracking up’ while stuck inside during lockdown as she gave her best Julie Andrews impression on her Instagram Story.

She was seen wearing a striped T-shirt, jeans and slippers as she amusingly displayed her dainty footwork while stood between her kitchen counters. 

Natalie lifted the sides of the towel on her head before busting into laughter. 

The EastEnders actress wrote in the accompanying caption: ‘Me and the girls are having fun today. It feels like a Friday because they’ve worked so hard all week. Or maybe I’m cracking up…’ alongside a laughing crying face emoji.  

Natalie has been homeschooling her children throughout the pandemic. 

She welcomed her youngest daughter Joanie in 2016 with her fiancé Marc Humphreys. The actress is also a parent to Eliza, 10, with her ex-partner, Adam Cottrell.

Also on Friday, she shared a video sporting a goat mask as she played around with her youngest daughter. 

‘I’m really hungry, I need to go over the bridge,’ the thespian chimed. 

Joanie showed off her acting chops as she responded in a deep, foreboding voice: ‘Who’s that tripping over my bridge?’

‘It’s me!’ Natalie responded and she penned on top of the Instagram clip: ‘Billy goats gruff. I can’t even be a good goat. I need to get back to some acting.’ (sic)

Last Thursday, she pleaded with shoppers to ‘stop leaning over her’ after they failed keep their distance during a trip to the supermarket.

The EastEnders star took to Instagram to remind fans to ‘be patient’ when picking up their essentials as she offered her support to those struggling in lockdown. 

She shared her views alongside a sweet makeup-free pyjama snap of herself clutching an Alice in Wonderland mug. 

The mum-of-two wrote in the caption: ‘It’s very easy to sit and moan about not seeing family or not being able to go to a pub for lunch, not being able to go to your gym or have your nails done.

‘But it’s really not that bad. Keep going, remember how lucky we are. 

‘Oh, and be kind when you’re out shopping and stop rushing because it’s driving me mad being walked into or leaned over every b****y time I go out.

‘I’m really not going to take the 87 plums on the shelf, just wait patiently two metres away from me. And others. Cheers.’ 

In the post, which ended with a thumbs-up emoji, the soap actress also extended her thoughts to front-line workers. 

She wrote: ‘Ready for another day with my girls. The data we receive each day from the news is so upsetting.

‘I just wanted to say I’m thinking of everyone who has lost someone and thinking of the people who’s loved ones are in hospital.

‘I’m thinking of people on their own and the Drs and nurses who are dealing with it each day.’
