A well-known TV and soap actress is now part of EastEnders, and her character is sure to cause problems.

Welcome to Walford, Laila Rouass! Fans of the iconic early-2000s drama Footballers' Wives will be thrilled to hear that the talented actress is joining the cast of EastEnders. Laila, known for her role as Amber Gates on the show, will be taking on the role of Ayesha, a new character whose arrival is sure to shake things up for the Panesar family.

Ayesha will make her debut in Walford next month, after being invited by Nish Panesar. However, the reason for her visit and Nish's involvement remains a mystery. What we do know is that Ayesha has a history with Nish and his ex-wife Suki, although they have not been in touch for quite some time.

In an interview, Laila expressed her excitement about joining the EastEnders family, calling it a dream come true. "I cannot tell you how excited I am to be in EastEnders!" she exclaimed. "I was born and raised in the East End, and I remember the buzz when the show first started. Even though I was young at the time, I clearly remember the first episode when Doctor Legg arrived at the flat where Reg Cox had been murdered."

Laila also shared her joy about reuniting with her former co-star Navin Chowdhry and working with the rest of the talented Panesar family. However, fans are left wondering what Nish is up to now, especially with his health deteriorating rapidly. As viewers have seen, his family is divided on how to support him in his final months. Suki and Vinny are plotting to get him to sign over the family business, while Priya is seeking revenge for his recent actions against her.

Laila's first scenes as Ayesha will air on August 5th, but her filming for the show has already been completed earlier this year.
