Elaine Lordan (born December 15, 1966 in Islington, London, England) is a British actress.
Lordan is most famous for her role as Lynne Hobbs in the BBC soap opera EastEnders, which she appeared in from 2000 until 2004.[1][2] Following reports of drunken behaviour on and off the set, Lordan left the show in mid 2004.[2][3][4]
Prior to this role, she appeared in Gimme Gimme Gimme as Linda La Hughes's Eurovision-singing sister Sugar Walls in two episodes (1999, 2000). She also appeared in Game On as Mandy's university friend Julia in 1996, Tucker's Luck and Casualty.
She appeared on the fifth series of I'm a Celebrity, Get Me Out of Here! in November 2005, but within a day of arriving she passed out and was removed from camp on medical advice.[5] She was the first person to be voted off the 2007 series of Soapstar Superstar after performing Bonnie Tyler's "It's a Heartache".
She married Peter Manuel in December 2005, and her baby son died a few days later, aged one, having had surgery for a diaphragmatic hernia.[6] She wrote about this part of her life in the book Whatever It Takes: A Story of Family Survival (2008).
