Elaine Lordan (born 1966 in Islington, London, England) is a British actress.
Lordan is most famous for her role as Lynne Hobbs in the BBC soap opera EastEnders, which she appeared in from 2000 until 2004. She has also appeared in Gimme Gimme Gimme, Tucker's Luck and Casualty.
Elaine gave birth to a son James in December 2004 with boyfriend Peter Manuel. James was born with a defective diaphragm.
She volunteered for the fifth series of I'm a Celebrity, Get Me Out of Here! in November 2005, but within a day of arriving she passed out and was removed from camp on medical advice, and on November 23, 2005 it was announced she would not return.
Shortly after James's first birthday, Elaine married Peter. James had had surgery on his diaphragm and was looking much better. However, just five days later, the baby died.
Elaine's mother, who had an ongoing battle with depression, committed suicide by jumping on the tracks at Highbury and Islington tube station.
