EastEnders actress Cheryl Fergison has admitted that the blonde wig she wears during her Let’s Dance For Sport Relief routine, confuses her young son.

Fergison donned a blond wig and white tracksuit to perform Vanilla Ice’s ‘Ice Ice Baby’ on the show two weeks ago and told the Press Association:

“I think my son was very confused – He’s 10, he was like, ‘oh, what’s going on?’”

She added: “A lot of people thought I had cut my hair but it was just the wonder of showbiz and make-up.”

When asked why she was chosen to represent the BBC soap on the charity TV show she said: “I think it was who had some time off, and I had the week off and they thought, ‘she’s lazy, this one needs her glutes seeing to, let’s see if she can dance.’ I think there were a few people who would have loved to have done it but because of filming they couldn’t.”

In other news, Cheryl revealed that she sustained a ham string injury during rehearsals this week.
