I got the job because of working with Frankie Howard
The 72-year-old actress was talking to Eamonn Holmes and Ruth Langsford about the Carry On documentary set to air next month.
Anita was joined by her former co-stars Amanda Barrie, 79, and 86-year-old Bernard Cribbins.
Speaking about being offered a role in the Carry On movies, before she had hit the big time, Anita said: "I got the job because of working with Frankie Howard in a review at the Prince of Wales.
"They came to talk to Frankie about his next Carry On - and that's how it happened. That was Follow That Camel."

Speaking about working with Phil Silvers, she added: "Troubled but very dear. Very sweet to talk to and kind and nice.
"I think the company - Peter Rogers and Gerald Thomas - they were thinking the Carry Ons might go international."
Amanda Barrie explained the movies were far more popular than the actors ever expected.
She said: "We never thought it was going to be… It was just a job. And a very quick job too. It was very much like doing review - we just went in and did it.
Anita spoke of her love for the films and fun times on set
From past projects to future work, Anita's keeping busy with an appearance on Casualty coming up this weekend.
She said: "It's amazing how it's coming out on Saturday evening. It's funny you do all this work in different times and suddenly it's all on at the same time.
"I have a very young handsome toyboy - I won't tell you any more. I'm a patient, sort of."
