Drink and drugs past of soap star Nina.

NEW EastEnders star Nina Toussaint-White has boasted of a wild-child history of drug-taking and violence.

Millions of viewers saw Nina, 23, crash on to Albert Square last week as Syd Chambers, feisty new love interest of Bradley Branning.

Now it has emerged that she describes herself as a "nutter" who likes booze, has smoked cannabis and has beaten people up.

Nina, who is half-Grenadian, also lists her interests as: "Acting, keeping fit, eating and, most importantly, getting w**kered."

The actress, from Streatham Hill, south London, made the shocking confessions on her MySpace website page.

Describing herself as "Nina the nutter", she also reveals her ears, tongue and belly-button are pierced and she has a tattoo.

An EastEnders insider said: "Producers were shocked when they found out about the website. They had no idea she had written all this about herself."

Nina's agent said: "Nina has not used this internet site for over a year. She was immature and naive when she created her profile and she has grown up a lot since."

The soap has been scandalised in the past by cast members.

Leslie Grantham, who played Dirty Den, was caught up in an internet sex scandal in 2004.

Rita Simons, who plays Roxy Mitchell, has admitted a history of drug-taking and Danniella Westbrook, who played Sam Mitchell, battled a cocaine habit.
