EastEnders legend Natalie Cassidy has opened up about living with balance problems, and how she has wondered if she has dyspraxia.

Dyspraxia, according to the NHS, is a disorder that affects movement and co-ordination.

The condition may impact your balance and movement, your ability to write, type, draw, and grasp small objects.

The symptoms could also impact how you function in social situations and how you learn new skills.

For Natalie, who plays Sonia Fowler in the BBC One soap, her poor co-ordination means she cannot ride a bike or ice skate.

Her balance problems and how they impact her day to day life recently left her pondering over whether she has dyspraxia.

She told the Mirror: ‘I have no balance. I cannot ride a bike or roller skate or ice skate. In 2025 I think you’d call me dyspraxic. I think if I went and sorted it all out, I think I’ve got a bit of dyspraxia.

‘If I go down the stairs I have to prise myself at the top before I go. It’s a balance issue. I am a wobbler.’

Natalie played a huge part in EastEnders’ live episode last week, which saw Sonia Fowler give birth.

The character was pregnant with Reiss Colwell’s (Jonny Freeman) baby and could not decide whether to name the little tot Julia or Toni.

It was ultimately up to the audience to choose, with Sonia eventually revealing she had called her little girl Julia.

Prior to the birth, Sonia, Lauren Branning (Jacqueline Jossa) and Bianca Jackson (Patsy Palmer) were confronted by Reiss as they remained trapped in the Queen Vic after the explosion.

Reiss attempted to get closer to Sonia as she went into labour, but he was warned off by Bianca.

As Reiss stepped backwards, he was crushed by a bath that had fallen through the ceiling, which killed him instantly.
