We've seen 'the director's cut' of behind the scenes at these sorry photo shoots before. Nadia Sawalha parades around a room with floor to ceiling windows in scraps of dirty items sourced from various floors in the house. She barks orders at Mark Adderley, who is grateful for an evening leering at that saggy puddle of McDonalds. She repeatedly references her phone picking apart the poor woman she's selected to mock that day. She barks orders at Kiki as more and more props are required to prop up her smelly bits. Have I got the fishnet right? Have I got the crotch right? Have I still got the kind of funbags that will get me onto the Daily Wail sidebar of shame?She is a total embarrassment 🥱
Really, who wants to see that!
So, when she is prides herself on the powers of her mimicry, why are we subject to Nadia Sawalha's crossed eyes and gormless goldfish mouth vs Kendal Jenner's neutral face? What is she trying to say? The intention doesn't seem especially kind to me and results in Kendal Jenner looking pretty good, in my humble opinion.
Writing that reminded me of this catty disclosure in the press:
Nadia added that a comment from Steve McFadden, who played one of her on-screen love interests Phil Mitchell, stuck with her as he questioned whether his character would really date hers.
Nadia explained: ‘Steve actually said, “Why would I be going out with her?” I remember the director saying, “Have a look at her”.

I can only hope RADA trained Steve McFadden (jealous much ) has stumbled upon Nadia Sawalha in her current 'role'.
