Kitty Castledine has been making waves on EastEnders as the feisty and troublesome Penny Branning. But did you know that she comes from a famous family? Penny is the eldest daughter of Jack Branning, from his first marriage to Selina Branning. And it's not just her character that has made an impact, Kitty has also been impressing viewers with her portrayal of Penny since she joined the show on a regular basis earlier this year.
Penny's debut on the show was back in 2008, when she appeared alongside her mother in a few episodes. But it was in January when she made her triumphant return, with Kitty taking over the role. Since then, we've seen Penny get involved in some dramatic storylines, from flirting with newcomer Harry Mitchell to framing her cousin Lauren for drug possession and being caught up in a terrifying mass-crush incident at Peggy's nightclub, where she works as a manager.
But what you may not know is that Kitty comes from a showbiz family, thanks to her famous mother Lucy Alexander. You might recognize Lucy from the popular home renovation TV show Homes Under The Hammer. When Kitty's casting was announced, Lucy shared a heartwarming photo of the two of them on Instagram, expressing her pride in her daughter's achievements.
Not only is Lucy a successful property expert, but she is also married to ex-Premier League footballer Stewart Castledine. The couple has two children together, Kitty and Leo, who is also pursuing a career in football. It's clear to see that talent runs in the family.
At just 19 years old, Kitty recently signed a new contract with Chelsea until 2027, showing that she is not only a rising star in the acting world but also in the sports industry. And her family couldn't be prouder.
But it's not all about fame and success for Kitty. She also values spending quality time with her loved ones, as seen in a sweet photo she shared of her family all together. Family is clearly important to Kitty, and it's heartwarming to see her appreciate and cherish those close to her.
In recent scenes, we've seen Penny continue to develop her relationship with Harry, despite her father Jack's concerns. When Jack caught wind of Harry day drinking, he didn't hesitate to confront him and warn him to stay away from his daughter. But Teddy, Harry's friend, didn't take kindly to the threat and gave Jack a menacing warning in response.
