EastEndersLaura Doddington Surprises Fans With Real-Life Accent

The contrast has viewers praising her range during a tense newborn storyline on the show.

Overview

  • Viewers on TikTok, reacting Monday after a short interview clip, said the Nicola Mitchell actor sounds very different from her cockney on-screen voice.
  • On the soap, Nicola recently gave birth to daughter Ivy prematurely and has been kept apart from the newborn because of infection risk.
  • In Monday’s episode, George Knight declined an offer of skin-to-skin contact in the NICU so Nicola could have the first chance with the baby.
  • Comments called Laura Doddington’s real voice “posh” and praised how convincingly she delivers a cockney accent as Nicola.
  • Doddington joined EastEnders in 2024 as Teddy’s ex-wife and mother to Harry and Barney, and she has said she was “pinching” herself after landing the role.
