EastEnders signs up Strictly Come Dancing star as new family set to join Walford

EastEnders is set to bring a brand new family into the mix in Albert Square after the departure of Mick Carter and the subsequent breakdown of the relationship between his mother Shirley Carter and former daughter-in-law Linda Carter.

BBC bosses are reportedly looking to sign Strictly Come Dancing star Molly Rainford who proved to be a huge hit on the flagship show where she strutted her stuff with professional dancer Carlos Gu with the couple finishing as runners-up behind winner Hamza Yassin.

Molly, who starred as the lead role in CBBC's Nova Jones, is being lined up to join Walford as part of a brand new family that will move into the Queen Vic following the supposed death of Danny Dyer's EastEnders landlord Mick.
