One thing that will DEFINITELY come as a surprise though is the news Harry Redknapp may well be joining the cast of EastEnders soon.

The 73-year-old real-life Cockney, who managed a string of Premier League clubs before wining I’m A Celebrity, is said to have impressed TV bosses despite having had no formal acting experience.

A source told the Mirror he had been locked in weeks of talks and is now set to sign a deal, saying: “Harry will be a great addition to EastEnders.

“Even though he has no traditional acting experience, his character and charm are more than enough to stand him in good stead on the show.

“And with him growing up in the real East End, it makes it even better.”

The Sun revealed last month that Harry was desperate to land a part in the BBC soap – pitching himself a role as Mick Carter’s sidekick.
