EastEnders stars Louisa Lytton and Rob Kazinsky selling videos to fans for £20 to make money during soap shutdown
by Mary GallagherEASTENDERS stars Louisa Lytton and Rob Kazinsky are selling messages to fans for as little as £20 to make money during soap shutdown.
The actors joined online video service Cameo, where a personalised shout out from a celebrity like Caitlyn Jenner can set you back £2000.
Fans of the BBC soap can order a video from Louisa for £20 and Rob is charging over double that amount, at £49.80.
Both actors have already clocked up five star reviews on their pages from happy fans.
One fan said about Louisa: "Thank you Louisa! Quick and fast response!"
Louisa has been off work since the BBC soap was forced to stop filming over the government's stay at home rules.
She recorded a message to entice fans into booking her for a video and said: "Hi, Louisa Lyttle here I've just joined Cameo, I'm really excited to be able to send some shout outs and some messages in a really safe environment.
"So get in touch and I'll say Hi!"
While Rob - who made it in Hollywood after a humbling sex text scandal ruined his EastEnders career - has been isolating in the US.
Actor Jake Wood, who plays Max Branning, recalled the strange day they were told not to return.
He said: "I was in on the last day of filming and it was a strange experience.
"It was just before the lockdown but you got a sense that people weren’t comfortable and we were getting to that point when it just didn’t feel right to be there.
"Obviously it was the only decision they could make at that time.
"We were in the last scene of the day and one of the producers came down and said they were going to have a meeting in the morning and very quickly they realised we couldn’t continue."
