EastEnders actor Cheryl Fergison, who rose to fame as the lovable Heather Trott in the BBC soap, had a wild ride in Albert Square.From her unrequited love with Minty Peterson to a shock pregnancy with Darren Miller, Heather had many different storylines throughout her five-year run on the show.Her character was killed by Ben Mitchell who hit her in the head with a photo frame back in 2012, and the George Michael and karaoke loving sidekick of Shirley Carter was greatly missed.Since leaving EastEnders, she has made guest appearances on The Saturday Night Show and Loose Women before she went into the Celebrity Big Brother house for the 10th season of the reality competition.
