Former EastEnders actress Annette Badland has revealed she received death threats while playing the villainous Babe Smith on the BBC soap. The threats were so serious that BBC security warned her not to go out in public for several weeks. The actress recalled receiving a call from BBC security who informed her about the 'red alert' death threats and advised her to stay indoors and avoid social media. The threats were traced back to a public computer outside Liverpool but the source could not be identified. Badland played Babe Smith from 2014 to 2017 and her character was known for her manipulative behavior and schemes against the Carter family.
