EASTENDERS star Charlie Brooks left This Morning viewers gobsmacked today as she revealed her secret side hustle.
The 41-year-old has created her own vibrator, which has been four years in the making.
After appearing on the show, Charlie revealed it for the first time, and told her followers: “So. The secret is out. I designed a vibrator. I know. Wild.
“Battled through a lot of everything to get this to you today. 4 years in the making. I started from where I was. Ordered sone clay. Talked to friends, product designers, anyone who knew anyone who might help. I reached out. It’s Called The U.
“And it’s all about U. It’s won a f***** award! It has new tech, Jacqueline Gold of Ann Summers has backed me and I couldn’t be more grateful and proud.

“@annsummers were in total alignment with my vision for this product, which is so much more than just a vibrator. It’s about a somebody who wants to see what else they can do, battle through their own fear and self doubt, be curious and learn more about their self, body and mind.
“Somebody who wants to be fearless and unafraid to try something new. It’s about connection. To ourselves, because when we know and love ourselves we can connect with and show up for other people in the best possible way. It’s about giving ourselves time.”
She continued: “I was fed up of not feeling comfortable in my body. Realised I didn’t know enough about it, so I went on a journey of the body and mind . It’s a powerful one, and I’d love U to go on one too. I’m no life coach or expert on ANYTHING, and I do NOT always get it right.
“But I can share my experience. And maybe you’ll be inspired too. This is my baby…I’m so happy I can finally introduce you guys. I want you to meet U. I think you might like each other…”
Charlie is famed for playing Janine Butcher in EastEnders but is currently touring in the theatre production of The Ocean at the End.
