Elaine Lordan

Elaine Lordan

Elaine Lordan (born 1966 in Islington, London, England) is a British actress.

Lordan is most famous for her role as Lynne Hobbs in the BBC soap opera "EastEnders", which she appeared in from 2000 until 2004. Previous to this role, she also appeared in "Gimme Gimme Gimme" as Linda La Hughes's Eurovision-singing sister Sugar Walls in 1999, in "Game On" as Mandy's university friend Julia in 1996, "Tucker's Luck" and "Casualty". In September 2008, Lordan said she would return to EastEnder's if asked, as she wanted to return to acting and get her life back on track.

Lordan gave birth to a son James in December 2004 with boyfriend Peter Manuel. James was born with a defective diaphragm.

She appeared on the fifth series of "I'm a Celebrity, Get Me Out of Here!" in November 2005, but within a day of arriving she passed out and was removed from camp on medical advice, and on November 23 2005 it was announced she would not return.

Shortly after James's first birthday, Lordan married Peter. James had had surgery on his diaphragm and was looking much better. However, just five days later, the baby died.

Lordan's mother, who had an ongoing battle with depression, committed suicide by jumping on the tracks at Highbury and Islington tube station. She has since written a book entitled "Whatever it takes" which tells the story of the loss of her baby and her mother as well as her battle with alcoholism and her subsequent recovery.

She was the first person to be voted off the 2007 series of Soapstar Superstar after performing Bonnie Tyler's It's a Heartache.
