The actress told People that she prefers nights in with her husband Theo and four-year old twins Jaimee and Maiya to the late night parties of her youth.
She joked: "I'm the most boring cow you've ever met. An exciting night for me these days is cooking a lamb burger and snuggling up with my husband to watch The Apprentice.
"I've put the party girl away and I don't think she'll reappear for a very long time."
Speaking about her first days on the soap, she said: "I started on EastEnders three-and-a-half years ago when the twins were babies and I had a really hard time of it. Along came this dream job and I couldn't turn it down. It was my ambition to be in EastEnders, but I had to learn how to juggle family life with work."
Simons added that she would like to see some "heartbreak" for Roxy in the New Year, adding: "As an actress I want her to have a bit more depth and grow up. She's such a moody cow."
"I've heard rumours she may get a love interest next year. I just hope it's a man, not that I will tell Theo. He hates seeing me kiss people on screen, so I don't tell him. In fact, Theo hardly has time to watch EastEnders."
