EXCLUSIVE: EastEnders actress Natalie Cassidy built an incredibly special bond with her dad after losing her mum as a teenager, and keeps his memory alive for her and her two daughters
After losing her mum when she was just 19, Natalie Cassidy's bond with her dad Charles grew into something special and he lived with her during his final years.
“I know it might be a bit morbid for some people but he sits on the windowsill and I like to have a chat with him," she told us. “My dad was with us because his health started to deteriorate and I didn’t want him to be living on his own any more,” Natalie explained. Natalie, who has become one of the nation's most loved soap stars over the last three decades, said she was "very fortunate" to be with her dad when he passed, and it gave her a sense of peace.“It was very peaceful. It made me realise how much our bodies mean nothing. Once your soul goes, it’s just an empty shell. We all worry about what we look like and impressing people and all of that, but it really made me realise that what’s inside of us, our soul, is everything.
