'Goodness Gracious Me' Star To Be Part Of Eastenders New Muslim Family

A new two-member Muslim family, will make their debut in EastEnders this summer.

Goodness Gracious Me actress Nina Wadia, 38, will play Zainab Masood who owns a string of post offices including the Walford branch.

An EastEnders source revealed: "Her direct manner can be hugely intimidating and sparks will fly with Denise [Wicks]... Zainab is great fun and has a wicked sense of humour."

Nina said: "I'm thrilled to join the show and I can't wait for Zainab to come to the Square and cause some trouble."

Newcomer Zahra Ahmadi, will take on the role of Zainab's daughter, Shabnam.

The source added: "Shabnam's definitely going to turn heads..."

Both actresses begin filming in the next couple of weeks and will be on screen from mid-summer.
