Hannah Spearritt has been announced as the latest addition to the join the popular TV soap and we've managed to get some photos of her on set.

The 36-year-old pop star has previously appeared in Casualty and now she's taking on the role as Karen Taylor's younger sister Kandice.

The new arrival on the Square will be exactly like her older sister – loud and outspoken. Opening up about her exciting new role, Hannah has said, "I’m over the moon to be joining the show, it’s such a huge part of British telly.

"I’m really looking forward to getting started and I can’t wait to see the Square in the flesh. Walford here I come."

Hannah has already been filming her first scenes with her on-screen family members Karen (played by Lorraine Stanley) and Bernadette (played by Clair Norris).

Hannah isn't the only pop star who has turned to a soap star; Blue boyband member Lee Ryan plays Woody in EastEnders, his bandmate Duncan James is in Hollyoaks as Ryan Knight and Hear'say singer Kym Marsh plays the infamous Michelle Connor in Coronation Street.

Even though there's a lot of EastEnders characters leaving, such as Lauren and Abi Branning, and returning this year, there's good news in store for fans who have watched the show for years, Tamzin Outhwaite will be returning after nearly 16 years.
