EastEnders actress Nina Wadia has admitted that she would love her character Zainab Masood to cause fireworks at son Syed's next wedding.

Earlier this month, reports revealed that Syed (Marc Elliott) could tie the knot again later this year as his partner Christian Clarke (John Partridge) will apparently propose to him in an upcoming storyline.

Zainab is currently trying to repair her damaged relationship with Syed, but next week's episodes will show that she is still not ready to accept Christian.

Speaking to Inside Soap about whether Zainab would be involved in a 'Chryed' wedding, Wadia confessed: "I'd love for that to happen! I want Zainab to wreck Syed and Christian's wedding!

"Yes, it would be so special for them and they'd really deserve to have a lovely day after all they'd been through. Mind you, having said that, it's the only wedding she wouldn't be fighting to plan, isn't it? As Zainab, I'd love to completely destroy their big day!"

Wadia also confirmed that she finds it difficult to film scenes which explore the homophobic views of her alter ego.

She said: "Her homophobia is very hard to play, and it's the only thing I really hate about Zainab. As an actor, you worry that people out there might believe that you're like that in real life, and I am so not!

"But it's down to the believability of the character. If I can find even 1% of my character that might say it, I'll say it. If I felt in my entire being that she wouldn't, I would fight to not say it."

Zainab has another meeting with Syed in tonight's episode of EastEnders.
