Mini Kat Slater Shines in Hilarious EastEnders Children In Need Sketch
14 Nov
Summary
- Mini Kat Slater takes charge at the Queen Vic pub
- Fans beg for the young actress to join EastEnders full-time
- Tiny Phil Mitchell and other child actors impress in the sketch
On November 14, 2025, the annual Children In Need telethon aired on BBC One, featuring a hilarious EastEnders sketch that stole the show. The sketch saw a young actress perfectly embodying the iconic character of Kat Slater, played by Jessie Wallace since 2000, as she took charge at the Queen Vic pub.
Dressed in Kat's signature leopard print blouse and chunky accessories, the mini Kat served a "double orange squash" to a young Billy Mitchell, played by another child actor. When a furious, and equally tiny, Phil Mitchell stormed into the pub, the young Kat defiantly told him to "sling your hook," leaving viewers "laughing uncontrollably" at home.
Fans were quick to take to social media, begging the EastEnders bosses to cast the talented young actress in the soap full-time. Alongside Kat and Phil, the sketch also featured Jacqueline Jossa and Shane Ritchie as Lauren Branning and Alfie Moon, who watched the pint-sized drama unfold in shock.
The Children In Need telethon, which ran throughout the night, featured a variety of other performances and sketches aimed at raising funds for the annual charity appeal.
