Sir Cliff Richard shuts down EastEnders star as he slams her ‘rubbish’ rumour

Sir Cliff Richard shut down EastEnders actress Charlie Brooks live on The One Show.

The 82-year-old music legend appeared with the soap star on Friday night's edition of the BBC chat show – but it wasn't long until things turned hilariously savage in the studio.

Charlie had been told that Sir Cliff was discovered when he stepped in for her grandad's band – so she wanted to know if the family mystery was true.

She told Sir Cliff: "The story went Cliff that you back in the day were a roadie for my granddad," quickly adding: "Now that could have been changed, it might be a myth. We don't know."
