BBC EastEnders fans go wild for Habiba Ahmed as character appears to wear latex catsuit to work

Eastenders fans went wild for Habiba Ahmed in tonight's episode of the BBC soap as she turned up for work in what appeared to be a latex catsuit.

The character, played by Rukku Nahar, turned up at the Prince Albert for her shift in black, skin-tight trousers and a leather-look top with a corseted waist.

Fans at home were blown away by her choice of outfit, many commenting on Twitter, one, @MTKigz said: "Habiba, wooowzers!"

Another, @ekitchener97 said: "Habiba's outfit is on fire."

A third, @demelcy said: "Habiba gone to work as catwoman."

A fourth, @iqraxahmedx said: "Omg what is Habiba wearing."

Viewers also loved Habiba's running commentary of the fight between Ian Beale, played by Adam Woodyatt, and Keegan Barker, played by Zack Morris.

The pair came to blows over Ian now selling sandwiches after Keegan abandoned his start-up sandwich business when he gave people food poisoning.

Ian appeared smug about it and made digs about Keegan's upbringing, which Habiba said was 'savage' and it resulted in Keegan punching Ian in the face - with Habiba offering hilarious sideline narration "Beale down! Beale down!"

People watching at home loved her descriptions, one, @PaulJcmesConnor said: "Habiba speaking to her phone "Ian is a savage!" "Beale down..Beale down!" "Someone finally smacked Ian in the mouth!" Shes got me laughing."

Another, @iqraxahmedx said: "Habiba's reaction to Keegan punching Ian like GIRL SAME."

A third, @DavidMackayy said: "Someone finally smacked Ian in the mouth" I am loving Habiba's running commentary."

A fourth, @_easstenders_ added: "LOL Habiba couldn’t of said it any better."

*EastEnders is on BBC One on Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays and Fridays and available on BBC iPlayer
