Is it true that "Olive" while filming "On the buses", was moonlighting in the evenings by stripping in London? Speaking of guilty pleasures; if so that's something I'd like to have seen!

I believe she was also the Original Peggy Mitchell for an episode before they wheeled out skanky Babs Windsor to play the part.
They re-cast 'Olive' as Peggys sister who appeared in various weddings when her darlings Grant, Phil and Sam walked down the aisle
But I never watch soaps
