Joel Beckett, who played Lee in The Office, has signed up to join the people of Albert Square. Kathleen Hutchinson, new EastEnders boss has acquired Beckett's services in a bid to recover from the show's ratings slump, though reports vary as to whether he has signed a one or three-year contract.
Beckett is to play Alfie Moon's cousin Jake. He is to arrive on New Year's Eve with his brother, who is yet to be cast.
An EastEnders spokesman said: "The gorgeous brothers are set to ruffle feathers all around Albert Square.
"Den and Dennis need to watch out - there's a new dynamic duo coming to town."
