John Altman, who played Nick Cotton on EastEnders, has paid tribute to the generosity and spirit of June Brown who played his screen mum Dot on the BBC soap. "She was a dear friend," the actor said on GMB, "Someone I could confide in, and probably my second mother, really. My real mother said she looked more like my mother than she did!”Credit: Good Morning Britain weekdays from 6am on ITV and ITV Hub
