While Sonia Fowler hasn’t made her final exit from EastEnders just yet, her real-life counterpart Natalie Cassidy has already stepped into a brand-new spotlight. Her new Channel 4 show, What’s The Big Deal: Britain’s Best Buys?, debuted last night—and let’s just say, it’s not just British households giving their verdict on hyped-up products… her toughest critics might just be her own daughters.

In the premiere episode, Natalie explored trending products like LED facemasks and lion’s mane mushrooms, with the help of six everyday families who test the items and dish out their honest opinions. But the true highlight came after the cameras stopped rolling—when Natalie turned to her daughters for their brutally honest reviews.

Filming from her living room, Natalie asked 8-year-old Joanie what she thought of Mum’s big new show. The response? A not-so-enthusiastic “It was okay.” Ouch! Thankfully, 15-year-old Eliza came in strong with a glowing “I thought it was really good… entertaining for the right audience!” As for Joanie, she offered a backhanded compliment—saying it was better than Natalie’s “other show.” Hey, we’ll take it!

Natalie laughed it off on Instagram, posting the moment with the caption “My honest review from the girls 🙄❤️.”

This all comes as Natalie gears up to say goodbye to EastEnders after over three decades, with Sonia’s exit set to be marked by emotional scenes during Martin Fowler’s funeral. While fans prepare to say goodbye to Sonia, Natalie’s already showing she’s not going anywhere—from dramatic soap storylines to savvy shopping exposés, she’s just getting started.

Stay tuned—this new chapter might be Natalie’s boldest yet.
