Question from Simon: If your script said you had to shoot someone, who would it be?

Brooke Kinsella: Zoe, because that would be a good storyline. Kelly turns against her... that would be cool!

Question from chicken wing: Have you got an east end accent anyway or do you have to put it on?

Brooke Kinsella: No, my accent is pure cockney, through and through.

Question from Lucy, Epping: Do you always forget your lines or do you perfectly remember them?

Brooke Kinsella: I've been lucky, I've got a good memory so I can talk and still learn, so it's quite easy. You do follow the script, but you can change small words, just not main blocks of the script.

Question from Jo, Spain: Has your life changed much since joining EastEnders?

Brooke Kinsella: Yeah it has. Not in such a big way but more security, more money, more fun, but for the best I think! I'd like Kelly to have a Mum, I really would. A little bit of family would be nice.

Question from emma5: The character that u played earlier on in the soap, did u feel uncomfortable playing the role of a prostitute?

Brooke Kinsella: Yes I did. I've played a prostitute a few times, but I like playing the victim and it's a challenge. It wasn't uncomfortable but sometimes you get hassle from people. It was an amazing opportunity though.

Question from Rebecca: If you could live with any other family who would it be?

Brooke Kinsella: Probably the Mitchells, so I could run the square. My favourite character is Billy Mitchell, he's amazing. They're all good though, although Ian's being mean to Laura at the moment!

Question from Jade, Swindon: I think you are like the new Janine Butcher, you're just so sneaky, what do you think about that?

Brooke Kinsella: I'm not sneaky! She has been trying to start a new life and once she's got her head around things, she'll be much better. I don't think she's like Janine!

Question from Adam3: In EastEnders you are slowly getting closer towards your romance with Spencer, who would be your perfect date and why?

Brooke Kinsella: Ooh Adam. Jude Law in real life... in EastEnders, maybe Martin. He's very mature and he's been through a bad time recently.

Question from Ross: Do you have any nice plans for Valentines Day?!

Brooke Kinsella: Is that an offer?! I didn't realise it was that close - I think I'll probably be working, but no other plans yet.

Question from Rob1: What first attracted you into acting?

Brooke Kinsella: My Mum put my name down for drama school and I loved it and done it ever since. I've done lots of TV and some theatre. My favourite role so far is No Child Of Mine, definitely. It was so much fun but hard work too.

Question from Jack1: Brooke how do u manage to keep yourself lookin so beautiful, do u have a beauty regime?

Brooke Kinsella: Thank you Jack! I fall into bed and leave the make up on until the next morning. The EastEnders make-up team are great!! We eat out so much - 6 times in a weekend! - so we're trying to cut down on chocolate and stuff. I don't think it'll work though!

Question from the game: Kelly what is your favourite film?

Brooke Kinsella: I've got so many... Green Mile, Cruel Intentions, Matrix, there's so many. I love Jack Nicholson and Ryan Phillippe as well, a collaboration with all of them would be great.

Question from sophus: If you could be anything or anyone in the universe who would you be?

Brooke Kinsella: Maybe Victoria Beckham because she's got it so easy, maybe her! She looks like she leads a good life. It's like the perfect family... I'm an Arsenal supporter though.

Question from dude: Yo Brooke, if you had a really major storyline, who would you like to do it with?

Brooke Kinsella: Billy Mitchell. Perry is an amazing actor. Or maybe Shane Ritchie, as he's great too.

Question from tanya: Do you find it weird seeing yourself in EastEnders?

Brooke Kinsella: I do Tanya, I hate watching myself. You always criticise yourself.

Question from Charlotte, London: How do you normally research a character and what preparation do you do?

Brooke Kinsella: Hello. I've never really researched a character, although that sounds bad! Maybe for a big role I do, but sometimes you have just to go into it and make the character your own really.

Question from Lucy: If you could save three things during a fire, what would they be?

Brooke Kinsella: My family, but there's six of them! All my photographs and my clothes!

Question from Hayley: If you could have one wish, what would it be?

Brooke Kinsella: Just to make sure I'm happy and healthy... and also to stay in EastEnders for a while.

BBC Host: Thanks to our guest Brooke Kinsella, and to all of you who logged on tonight.
