- To relax, Letitia paints the walls of her house, which she says is quite exhausting but therapeutic.
- As of 2022 she is the 2nd longest serving actress in the history of EastEnders (1985) (tied with Pam St. Clement and behind only June Brown), having played the character Sharon Watts for a total of 25 years (initially from 1985 until 1995, then from 2001 until 2006 and again from 2012 onwards).
- Ranked #3 in the 100 Greatest EastEnders (1985) Characters of All Time for her performance as Sharon Rickman (2010).
- I'm not a size 8, I'd love to be but never will be. I just try to be healthy and focus on that instead. You don't have to be skinny to be attractive.
- I always knew I'd come into my own in my 30s. I found my 20s a bit perplexing because it's that transition between being a teenager and an adult and you're still trying to find yourself. This decade is a good age for a woman.
