After sixteen years behind the bar at the Queen Vic, Barbara Windsor will leave the BBC as the 'Queen of Walford' bows out of Eastenders, but minutes later you can see her on ITV as the 'Queen of Bingo'
Barbara is ending her reign in Walford as Peggy Mitchell this week, but on Friday September 10th at 8.30pm, just minutes after Eastenders goes off the air on BBC1, you can see her on ITV1 in a new multi-million pound campaign for Jackpotjoy.com - Britain’s favourite online bingo site.
It is Barbara's first starring role in a television commercial and will delight fans as it marks the comeback of her trademark Carry On giggle, and you can join in the fun by claiming £5 free with no deposit required by heading to JackpotJoy today plus a total of £100 free (use bonus code MAXIMUMBONUS when opening an account)!
In a glittering career that has spanned theatre, TV and film, Barbara’s role in the new advertising campaign sees her return to the music hall environment where she started her career – but this time as a Queen in a music hall decked out like the ultimate bingo palace!
The ad introduces the ‘Queen of Bingo’s’ faithful courtier ‘Jack’ and glamorous bringer of luck ‘Joy’, as well as starring real life members of Jackpotjoy.com enjoying a live experience of the site’s laughs, thrills and wins. Barbara is given a right royal welcome as she greets her loyal subjects in flamboyant full royal regalia specially designed by Vin Burnham who has created show stopping outfits for Lady GaGa.
Barbara Windsor said: "I was thrilled to be given the role of the ‘Queen of Bingo’ for Jackpotjoy.
"EastEnders marks the end of one of the happiest chapters of my life but I’m really excited about the future – the giggle is back for good. Long live the ‘Queen of Bingo’!"
The new Jackpotjoy.com advert will premiere on ITV1 and satellite channels from 8.40pm on Friday 10th September.
