Charlie Brooks, an actor from EastEnders, created a vibrator.
The actress, who portrayed Janine Butcher in the BBC One soap opera, made an appearance on This Morning to talk about the new project, which she claimed had taken four years to develop.
She admitted to hosts Holly Willoughby and Phillip Schofield that she felt as though her life was standing still after being approached on her 40th birthday.
Being an actress can leave you feeling uninspired for extended periods of time, so I quit drinking and hired a business coach. I changed a lot in my life and put some effort into improving myself. I began to have ideas, and my creativity began to flow.
“I remembered talking to someone about the shape of the clitoris, which I didn’t know is in the shape of a wishbone, about seven or eight years ago.
“So that must have stuck with me on some level, and I wondered why we never received this education at school—for me, at least.
About four years ago, I awoke in the middle of the night and wondered, “Why isn’t there a vibrator that surrounds the clitoris?” It encircles the vulva but does not pierce it.
Charlie, 41, made the decision to order some clay and create a new vibrator after speaking with friends, product designers, and inspirational women who had been “cheering her on.”
It’s Known As The U. And it’s all about U,” she wrote on Instagram, adding some additional information about the merchandise. ‘ It received a f***ing award! Jacqueline Gold of Ann Summers has backed me, it has new technology, and I couldn’t be more appreciative and proud.
@annsummers were completely in line with my vision for this product, which is much more than a vibrator.
“It’s about someone who wants to see what else they can do, overcome their own fear and self-doubt, be curious, and learn more about themselves, their body, and their mind,” the author says.
After Janine was detained and taken away in a police car for her part in framing Linda (Kellie Bright) for a serious car accident that occurred earlier in the year, Charlie, who stunned viewers with a new hairstyle, made her final appearance in EastEnders on Boxing Day of last year.
