Lesley Joseph on Celebrity MasterChef / BBC
Birds of a Feather legend Lesley Joseph has admitted that she is aware that her time in the business is coming to an end.
The 79-year-old has been appearing on stage and screen since the 1960s and is most known for her role as vixen Dorien Green in the sitcom Birds, which ran from 1989 to 1998 and then again from 2014 to 2020.
Speaking about the show’s cancellation, she told Woman’s Own: “It came as a relief. I wouldn’t have wanted to see Dorien with a zimmer frame. I’ve laid her to rest now.”
“At my age, I don’t know how much longer I have left in the business,” she continued. “I’m still ambitious, but I know my time is limited.”
Joseph will next be seen making a cameo in 5’s murder mystery drama The Good Ship Murder, while she will also be starring in a panto version of Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs in Woking alongside Rob Rinder.
