An Albert Square dance for EastEnders star Davood Ghadami

EASTENDERS star Davood Ghadami is the second star to join Strictly Come Dancing’s 2017 line-up.

The actor, who plays market trader Kush Kazemi in the TV soap, said it was ‘an honour’ to be taking part in the hit BBC1 show but admitted he was ‘terrified’ of having to learn how to dance.

‘It’s going to be exciting, challenging and terrifying all at once,’ the actor said, before adding: ‘I am looking forward to stepping out of my comfort zone and learning to dance. See you under the Glitterball!’

Ghadami, 35, joined the show a day after The Saturdays singer Mollie King, 30, announced she had signed up for Strictly.
