She made her name on Eastenders as schoolgirl Sonia Fowler, who made audiences laugh in her attempts to learn to play the trumpet.
And it looks as if actress Natalie Cassidy now has more than enough reason to blow her own, after showcasing her picture perfect family at the 20th Anniversary Gala Performance of The Snowman, held at The Peacock Theatre, on Saturday.
The former soap star, who started out at the Anna Scher Theatre school in North London, was all smiles as she appeared alongside her partner and two children.

Natalie looked a world away from downtrodden Sonia alongside her partner Marc Humphreys, Eliza, seven, and Joanie, two.
Natalie, 35, stepped out in a black stripped top with mustard coloured stripes.
Adding a pair of ripped black jeans and black boots, she pulled her hair back into a tight pony tail and flashed a wide smile alongside her happy family.
Looking suave, Marc wore a dapper brown blazer over a blue checked shirt, sweeping her short hair into a neat quiff.

Natalie held on to the hand of her eldest daughter Eliza whom she shares with her former flame Adam Cottrell.
Natalie and Adam dated on and off from 2010 for three years before they parted ways in 2013.
The soap star then started dating freelance cameraman Marc in 2014 and they have been loved-up ever since.
In October 2015, the lovebirds announced they were ready to take their relationship up a level with their engagement.

Just a few months later, she couldn’t contain her excitement when she found out she was pregnant for the second time.
Sharing the news with her fans, she tweeted: ‘Evening all… Time to let everybody know that @cameramarc and I are having a baby in the summer. The three musketeers become four.’
The BBC star then gave birth to Joanie in August 2016, Natalie’s second daughter but her first child with Marc.

After giving birth to Eliza, Natalie explained she wasn’t ‘obsessed’ with her weight but she confessed to being left with a ‘mummy tummy’ she needed to ‘tone’.
In an interview with Now magazine in 2012, she said: ‘Since having my daughter I’m not obsessed with being thin any more.
‘My ultimate goal was to look curvy, toned and fit. So I’ve been doing 60-minute sessions with trainer Rob at the gym six days a week.
‘I thought I was done with weight loss, but after having Eliza I was left with a mummy tummy and I decided I needed to tone up.’
