It comes after soap bosses offered fans their first glimpse of filming in the world of COVID-19 – which involves perspex screens, body doubles and even CGI.

Executive producer Jon Sen revealed bosses had to ‘cheat’ the social distancing rules with protective screens and have even drafted in the help of stars’ real-life partners as body doubles for intimate scenes.
EastEnders is set to return to screens on Monday, September 7 after it was forced off air when production was suspended during the crisis.
Speaking to MailOnline at the soap’s virtual launch, Jon explained that like many other soaps they’ve used clever camera methods to hide the two metre distance between cast members.

But he also revealed that they’ve used perspex screens between stars to continue filming passionate kiss scenes, and have even used some of the cast’s real-life partners as body doubles.
He said: ‘When we came back we had to devise methods where we could cheat the distance, it’s very odd shooting like this, never before in TV history have we made drama in this way, certainly we were forced to work with this 2 metre rule.’
