SHE’S back at her blonde best!

Huddersfield actress Zoe Lucker is set to set the streets of Walford on fire.

The Lindley-born actress begins a short stint on Eastenders this week.

The star, 36, and mother of Lilly Alabama, arrives in Walford as blonde temptress Vanessa Gold with car dealer Max Branning firmly in her sights.

In sizzling scenes to be screened on Friday, ladies’ man Max (Jake Wood) gets a warm welcome when Albert Square’s latest man-eater turns up to buy a motor.

As Vanessa looks from car to car, Darren follows her around like a puppy until Max spots her and insists on taking over.

He names a price for one of the cars and explains that he’ll be in The Vic if she decides to buy it.

Later, Vanessa turns heads as she struts into the pub and asks Max where to sign.

After they conclude their deal, Vanessa suggestively slips a card with her number on it into Max’s pocket.

Zoe, who made her name in Footballers Wives and went on to star in Holby Blue and Strictly Come Dancing, said: “Vanessa is smart and really glam. Max is intrigued by her.

“She wants fun and uncomplicated sex, but she has an agenda.”
