Former EastEnders co-stars Shane Richie and Jessie Wallace are set to be reunited in a new ITV1 show.
Richie and Wallace, who played fan favourites Kat and Alfie Moon on the BBC One soap, have been approached to play a bickering couple on Rock Rivals. The show follows two married judges on an X Factor-style talent programme, who launch rival bands when their romance hits the rocks.
A source told The Sun: "It would be fantastic to get Shane and Jessie together again. They have an amazing on-screen chemistry and would be just perfect for these roles."
Shane admitted that he was keen to be reunited with Jessie last year, explaining: "We've spoken of working with each other again."
