EastEnders 星／主役にする Natalie Cassidy 明らかにする／漏らすs why the smell of whisky is so poignant and her number one drinking game in MY LIFE IN DRINKS

My favourite drink as a child was Ribena Light. 

My parents tell me I used to sit in my cot and shout ‘Bena, bena!’ with my 武器 stretched wide. I’d drink it out of a 瓶／封じ込める instead of milk, which is really bad. I’ve still got a penchant for it now.

My first アル中患者 drink was a sip of my dad Charles’s whisky at home. 

I was probably only six or seven. Whisky still 持つ／拘留するs a dear place in my heart . It’s not my drink of choice, but whenever I smell it, it reminds me of him. 特に Famous Grouse with ice, which was always his favourite.

My morning go-to is a lovely cup of English 建設業者’s tea. Normal milk and no sugar is best. 

いつかs I’ll try to have hot water with lemon and fresh ginger to be healthy. I can’t stand coffee first thing, it makes me feel sick.

On my first date with my fianc? Marc I drank a half pint of beer. 

It was 2014 and I’d driven us to the coast at Whi tstable, so I could only have a cheeky half at the pub. He had a pint of ale. It was 広大な／多数の／重要な fun and I knew very quickly it was meant to be.

My alcohol intake is much いっそう少なく than it used to be. 

Until a few years ago Marc and I would always 株 a 瓶／封じ込める of ワイン while we cooked and ate. But since I’ve 攻撃する，衝突する 40, there’s a 際立った difference in how I feel the morning after drinking alcohol. That aside, I have to talk about the telly for my new podcast so I can’t be nodding off. I’ll have one gin and tonic: my favourite is Monkey 47.

My most memorable drink was at Bora Bora Beach Club in Ibiza, 老年の 30. 

I was with my lovely nieces, Ellia and Maria. They’re more like my sisters because they’re only a few years younger. We were drinking straight vodka with ice on the beach and having the best time.

I had drinks with lots of famous 直面するs at Elstree . 

They 記録，記録的な／記録するd 最高の，を越す of the Pops there, and I remember 会合 the Spice Girls, Oasis and Toploader in the 早期に 2000s. I also met Steve Coogan at one  of those swish BBC events at the Natural History Museum. Everyone was drinking シャンペン酒 and I embarrassed myself by asking for a selfie with him.

The drink that makes me feel most stylish is a negroni: Campari, gin, vermouth and a 新たな展開 of orange. 

My 地元の boozer in Hertfordshire does the best バーレル／樽-老年の ones. It 現実に sells takeaway negronis in tiny little Alice in Wonderland 瓶／封じ込めるs with brown labels. I’ve been very good and so far resisted bringing any home.

I could fill this magazine with all the songs I sing  when I’ve had a drink.

My girlfriends and I sit around the （米）棚上げする／（英）提議する shouting requests at Alexa. We love ‘創立／基礎s’ by Kate Nash or ‘Jambalaya’ by the Carpenters. We’re always dancing to that one.

If I could have a drink with anyone, I’d 選ぶ Ricky Gervais. I’ve loved all his shows since Extras. 

I was in a 解除する with him once at The Ivy but I was too nervous to say anything.

I’m friends with a lot of his friends, so maybe one day it will happen. I don’t want to come across as a fan though. I just want to 会合，会う him and say very coolly, ‘You all 権利 mate?’
