EastEnders bosses have signed model James Farrar to join its dazzling cast.
The actor is set to take on the role of "charming" and "unpredictable troublemaker" Zack Hudson in the hit soap.
"I’m thrilled to be joining EastEnders," he said ahead of his debut. "As a born and bred Londoner myself, I can’t wait to bring my experience of a place I love and know to such a well-respected long-running show, with such iconic characters.
“Zack certainly has a very complicated past and there is a real depth to him that I can’t wait to explore," he added.
His character Zack is described as a "ladies' man" with a difficult childhood, who “lives life in the fast lane”.
The BBC One soap’s executive producer Jon Sen said: “James is a wonderful addition to the EastEnders cast, playing the charming rogue Zack Hudson.
“We are all excited to see James bring the character to life and there’s plenty of drama in store for him – trouble is always just round the corner.”
James is set to start filming in February, with his soap debut set for March.
James is no stranger to appearing on-screen.
The actor previously built up an impressive acting resume with past appearances in Call The Midwife, Silent Witness and soon to be released Blank Shores.
What's more, the actor starred in 2016 sci-fi film Anti Matter, proving that he's no stranger to appearing on the big screen.
He also appeared in one episode of the Walford soap and was also in Hollyoaks as Liam Gilmore.
