Janine first appeared in Walford as a troublesome schoolgirl in 1989 as Frank Butcher’s daughter.
Her clashes with Frank’s second wife, Peggy Mitchell, became the stuff of legend and her malice only escalated until she killed husband Barry Evans by pushing him off a cliff to claim his inheritance.
Peggy Mitchell was Best Pub Boss for 81 per cent of you, with the tragic Angie Watts in second place.
And Phil Mitchell was rated Best Bad Boy by 59 per cent, seeing off evil Nick Cotton who made his mother Dot Cotton’s life a living misery.
Dot, who confused cannabis for herbal tea was voted the Funniest Character.

WILLIE MULLINS went out of his way to meet his “junior fan club” at the Dublin Racing Festival.
The legendary Irish trainer had another successful weekend at Leopardstown, capped off by Galopin Des Champs winning another Irish Gold Cup.
His good mood was bolstered when he met a group of young fans that was christened his “junior fan club” by Horse Racing Ireland.
He posted for a photograph with them while also signing autographs.
All of the young boys wore dashing flat caps, with Mullins remarking to one that he “liked” his.
A video of the interaction was shared to social media, with one fan calling it: “Beautiful”
Nazeem said: “British Racing needs to take a leaf out of the Willie Mullins book of, Start them young!
“The Top NH trainer on the planet, clearly has sights firmly on the future of this great sport.
“A day to remember for those youngsters”
A third fan commented: “That’s class you can’t buy it” while a fourth commented: “The wee flat caps….l can’t”
And a fifth posted: “Respect to Willie Mullins. This is what Racing should be about”
The 68-year-old has given an update on Lossiemouth and her plans for Cheltenham Festival after her heartbreaking fall against State Man.
The two stablemates were contesting a right humdinger in the Irish Champion Hurdle before Rich Ricci’s mare came down on the back straight.
Her capsizing almost brought down State Man too, but Paul Townend swerved him out of trouble just in time and strolled to victory.
Lossiemouth’s jockey Danny Mullins was seen clutching his arm immediately after the devastating fall.
Fortunately he was deemed well enough to ride again in the next race while Lossiemouth was up on her feet and seemingly well too.
Mullins has insisted they have been training Lossiemouth for the Champion Hurdle for the past two years.
She breezed to victory in last year’s Mares’ Hurdle after winning the Triumph the previous year.
Armed with her 7lb mares’ allowance, she was expected to serve it up to odds-on fav Constitution Hill in their showdown next month.
And Mullins said that remains the plan, even though Nicky Henderson‘s stable star got the better of her in the Christmas Hurdle at Kempton.
He told Racing TV: “Unless she’s injured, nothing changes.
“Unless Rich thinks differently we’re happy to go for the Champion Hurdle.”
TOWIE Series 35 is set to heat up in the Indonesian sun as tongues are about to be wagging about a very surprising holiday romance.
We can reveal how a pair of ITVBe fan-favourites shared a kiss at Savaya Nightclub in Bali after the cast jetted off to the holiday hotspot.
Harry Derbidge and Freddie Bentley enjoyed a sweet night out the evening before their snog.
Away from the filming cameras, the pair looked completely relaxed as they enjoyed some time at Atomic Beach Bar with each other.
Other cast members will no doubt be in shock with this news, especially Harry’s ex Joe Blackman and his new love interest Junaid.
Harry and Joe’s split dominated TOWIE’s previous season – sparking the biggest feud of the season when Joe went off with their mutual pal.
At the time, we reported how bosses had to take emergency measures due to the explosive nature of the plotline.
Harry was left in tears when Joe told him the pair were sleeping together.
Harry’s furious cousin, Amy Childs, was then seen confronting Junaid and Joe in fiery scenes.
Junaid and Joe were seen looking loved up on an outing in October yet the pair split just two months after, with Junaid exclusively telling The Sun how Joe had been unfaithful.
Yet the drama will no doubt continue as the aftermath of Harry’s kiss unfolds.
Previously, we reported how the TOWIE cast had glammed up for filming in Bali.
Female cast members stripped to a series of stylish bikinis – yet had to halt their scenes after heavy rainfall.
Yet The Sun was first to report how two key cast members had snubbed the “most luxurious trip ever” – this being Lauren Goodger and mum of four Amy.
Meanwhile, Roman Hackett was also seen heading out but was not joined by his Love Island star girlfriend Matilda Draper after The Sun revealed she didn’t get her visa in time.
Yet we also reported how TOWIE is set to air two fresh series in 2025 as the future of the long-running show was confirmed.
WITH the announcement TOWIE will return in 2025 for two new series, it's good news for some former ITVBE stars, too
TWO of the show’s best loved former stars will celebrate their own big life moments with a spin off series featuring Tommy Mallet and Georgia Kousoulou.
Their new show title is currently unconfirmed.
The pair, who first met and found love on TOWIE back in 2014, finally say ‘I Do’ in a three part special produced by Objective Entertainment.
The show will follow on from the success of their Baby Steps series.
It comes after the Essex-based programme has dominated screens for a whopping 15 years.
It comes after the TOWIE action has been streamed an impressive 45million times on ITVX during the past 12 months.
TOWIE loyals will also appreciate a spin off series featuring show OGs Tommy Mallet and Georgia Kousoulou, with a transmission name yet to be confirmed.
The pair – who share two kids – first met and found love on TOWIE back in 2014 will finally say I Do in a three part special produced by Objective Entertainment.
This follows on from the success of their Baby Steps series.
Paul Mortimer, Director of Reality Commissioning and Acquisitions at ITV, said “We are delighted to be celebrating two of our longest running reality franchises as they enter exciting milestone years, whilst also expanding both series, following the ever popular Tommy and Georgia as they embark upon new chapters.”
