EastEnders’ Louisa Lytton on explosive Ruby Allen return – and juggling motherhood with hectic filming schedule
WHEN EastEnders actress Louisa Lytton walked back into Albert Square as Ruby Allen for the first time in three years, it was a full circle moment – because not only is Ruby returning as a new mum, but Louisa welcomed her first child, daughter Aura, three, during her absence from the soap.
“I was so nervous to come back – just because it's nerve-wracking starting any job - but within half a day, I felt like I'd never left. It felt new in some aspects, but also just felt like home. “I’d love to do a period drama,” reveals Louisa, “I've done a lot of period stuff on stage, but I haven't cracked that on screen yet. And ultimately I want to do a drama, like a four-parter or something like that.
“Motherhood just puts your life into perspective. I'm a bit calmer and a bit more relaxed now, which is weird because you think it'd make you more frantic, but actually it's sort of settled me as a person. I'm so secure in my role as a mum that it's sort of made me more secure as a person.”. Louisa took part in Strictly Come Dancing in 2006 aged just 17 – the youngest contestant in the show’s history.
