EastEnders fans have been left buzzing with speculation that one of their favourite characters, James Farrar, might be participating in the 2024 series of Strictly Come Dancing.
Farrar, who portrays Zack Hudson on the popular BBC soap, has been at the center of major drama recently. His character was exposed for cheating on Whitney Dean with her best friend, Lauren Branning, leading to a tumultuous wedding day and a desperate fight to win Whitney back.
Adding fuel to the rumours, Shona McGarty, who plays Whitney, recently announced her departure from the soap, sparking concerns that Farrar might follow suit.
