EastEnders actress takes on the ballroom, and fans will see a whole new side of this Walford powerhouse. Keep scrolling to know more.
EastEnders’ favourite joins Strictly’s star-studded history.
Balvinder Sopal is dusting off her dancing shoes. The woman behind Suki Panesar is about to swap Walford tension for the bright lights of Strictly Come Dancing. After years of challenging storylines, she is stepping into something lighter, something fun.
It is not the first time a Walford star has joined the Strictly line-up. It is almost a tradition now. From Rose Ayling-Ellis to Bobby Brazier, they have all had their turn. Now, it is Balvinder’s turn to compete for the glitterball trophy. There is talk that the producers are expecting big things from her. And she is just as excited. This time, it is not about scripts or survival; it’s about music, movement, and maybe even a bit of magic.
The icon leaves heavy storylines behind.
When Suki first arrived on screen, she faked cancer to pull her family together. Later, viewers saw the cracks. An abusive marriage. A hidden relationship with Eve. A life full of fear and secrets, and through it all, she fought to be free.
Last year, Balvinder took home a top soap award for her role in the Keanu cover-up and those explosive scenes with Nish. Now, she is heading into a completely new space. One with no scripts, no stunts, and no backstabbing. Just music, lights, and whatever happens on the dance floor. For more EastEnders spoilers and updates, follow Soap Opera Daily.
