BORIS Johnson has appointed former EastEnders actress Barbara Windsor as his Royal street party champion.
Windsor, 73, will encourage Barking and Dagenham people to organise parties for Kate & Wills’ wedding on April 29.
The London Mayor has written to Barking and Dagenham Council in a bid to find and sign up a local champion.
The veteran actress said: “I am delighted to be working alongside the Mayor as his street party ambassador and will enjoy getting out across London to encourage people to get involved.”
