The 26-year-old star's paired the pretty look with a smoky eye and a pink lip, swishing her raven locks from side to side as she strutted down the red carpet.

'I genuinely had my ups and downs throughout the year, I had moments when I woke up in the morning and I was like "I can do this, I’m gonna get through this', she said during an appearance on The Jonathan Ross Show.

'Then there were days when I was literally crying my eyes out on the bathroom floor with a bottle of vodka.

'It really did vary on the day and the moment but I would say my overall approach to the situation was to stay strong and I knew in my mind I had to stay strong, I didn’t really have a choice.'

EastEnders bosses axe four major stars from the soap in a bid to boost ratings

Set for the chop: EastEnders bosses axe four major stars from the soap in a bid to boost ratings

By DAILY MAIL REPORTER

PUBLISHED: 08:34, 24 September 2013 | UPDATED: 14:43, 24 September 2013

Four major EastEnders characters have been axed as the show’s bosses try to revive the show’s flagging ratings. 

Characters Kirsty Branning, AJ Masood, Carl White and Poppy Meadow are all set to leave the show in the New Year. 

Executive producer Dominic Treadwell-Collins told the cast of the soap that he will do everything he can to make EastEnders Britain’s most popular soap. 

Moving on: EastEnders star Kierston Wareing's character Kirsty Branning is leaving the soap

  

Leaving: Kierston is set to film her final scenes for the soap at Christmas

Kirsty, played by Kierston Wareing, AJ (Phalut Sharma), Carl (Daniel Coonan) and Poppy (Rachel Bright) are set to film their last scenes for the show at Christmas. 

It is now open to speculation how the characters will leave the show and whether some will be killed off.

Dominic was responsible for the Who Killed Archie Mitchell? plot three years ago, which was watched by 16.6million viewers. 

New horizons: Rachel Bright who plays Poppy Meadows in the BBC soap is also set to be axed

The soap’s bosses called him back after viewing figures dropped below five million in July and executive producer Lorraine Newman was forced to stand down after just 16 months. 

Dominic has already signed up new actors, with comic Terry Alderton joining the soap as Terry Spraggan, who will be the new love interest of Bianca Butcher (played by Patsy Palmer). 

He will be joined by former Holby City actress Luisa Bradshaw-White, who will play Tina, the sister of Shirley Carter. 

The end of the road: Carl White played by Daniel Coonan, is also set to be written out of the soap

An insider told The Sun: ‘Dominic didn’t feel the characters who are leaving fit with the direction he is taking the show so he quickly decided to write them out.

‘He has only been in a month but he is already making big changes. He knows what he wants for EastEnders and is putting plans in place quickly. 

‘His arrival has gone down really well with the cast and crew and there is a real energy in the studios right now – even though some cast are scared they could be next for the chop.’   

Leaving the soap: Phaldut Sharma, who plays AJ Masood is also moving on from EastEnders

The new boss: Dominic Treadwell-Collins promises to turn the soap around and boost its flagging ratings

Michelle Collins in Twitter backlash as she 'accuses EastEnders actress Kierston Wareing of having her lips done'

Michelle Collins has been hit with a barrage of abuse on Twitter after suggesting one of the EastEnders cast had her lips surgically enhanced.

The Coronation Street star was watching the BBC soap on Monday night when she commented on a 'ridiculous lip job', but declined to elaborate further.

However, many of her followers on Twitter speculated it was new cast member Kierston Wareing, who plays Kirsty Branning.

Twitter furore: Michelle Collins (left) commented on an EastEnders' cast member's lips, prompting speculation she was talking about Kierston Wareing (right)

The incident kicked off when the 50-year-old tweeted on Monday evening: 'Why do actresses have ridiculous lip jobs done???

'Watched Easties tonight!! Was shocked! Big lips just seem to take over the screen! Too distracting!'

After receiving abuse from some EastEnders fans, accusing her of 'bullying', she replied: 'No bitching please! An observation that’s all! Strange now who’s doing the bullying!!??? No more tweeting for me!'

Pleading innocence: Michelle insisted she wasn't talking about Kierston, and praised the 35-year-old actress

She went on to explain that she was against cosmetic surgery and was concerned how it could affect young women.

She continued: 'There are young girls of 18 and even younger having cosmetic surgery do you think that's right ?????'

When one Twitter follower mentioned Kierston's Twitter feed, Michelle praised the actress: 'Yes she is a very good actress indeed particularly Fishtank!'

Stormy: Michelle was watching Monday's episode of EastEnders, which featured a tense scene between Kirsty and Max Branning (Jake Wood)

'Upset': Michelle's teenage daughter Maia took to her mother's Twitter to defend her

Michelle then insisted she didn't mean Kierston: 'You all have the wrong end of the stick ! Never even said who it was ! And you are all wrong anyway ! Inane comments in future.

'I do not tolerate bullying !!! If I ve offended then I m sorry people shouldn't make assumptions though.'

On Wednesday night, Michelle's 17-year-old daughter Maia took to her mother's Twitter account to defend the Corrie star.

Still smiling; Kierston looked cheery as she was spotted out in North London earlier this week

Maia wrote: 'Hi yea it's Maia here Michelle's daughter, I would just personally like to ask anyone who is think of writing malicious, hurtful or any other synonyms of 'nasty' comments in the form of tweets to my mum they can direct them to me my account name is @MaiaCollins feel free...

'To send anything thing you want, the ruder the more entertaining, because Michelle is a single mother who works from 7am to 7pm everyday.

'And the tweets are actually making her quite upset and she really doesn't need them at moment.'
