EastEnders star Heather Peace has shared an update from her cancer recovery, bidding farewell to the wig she wore during treatment. Doctors first diagnosed the Eve Unwin actress with cancer last October.
Heather went on to have a mastectomy on her left breast, as well as reconstruction and chemotherapy. The actress continued to film her scenes throughout treatment, wearing a wig in her scenes as Eve.
In her latest triumphant update, Heather has shared a video post to her social media this weekend. This shows her celebrating her final scenes in which the wig appears.

In a video posted to her Instagram account, Heather tells make-up artist Trevor Jordan how she’d just filmed her last scene wearing the wig. “From here on in, we’ll be shorn. Like a sheep!” she announced.
“It’s true, short hair!” replied Gary.
Elsewhere in the video, co-star Balvinder Sopal – who plays Eve’s screen wife Suki Panesar – joined Heather in celebration. “I’d just like to give a round of applause to the wig! It’s a wrap on the wig!” she cheered.
“Bless her! She’s done! She’s never missed a day!” Heather said of the wig. Meanwhile, Balvinder joked: “She’s never got a line wrong! Always on time, looking sharp!”
