Matt Willis joins 'EastEnders' cast

Pop rocker Matt Willis has signed up to be a temporary cast member on the iconic British soap opera, 'EastEnders'. 

The star recently joined new supergroup McBusted, but will also manage to find time to head to Walford to play the love interest of popular character Stacey Branning. Speaking about being asked to join the show, Willis explained that he's excited:

'I am so thrilled to be a part of such an iconic show. I grew up watching EastEnders, so this is really exciting for me."

This morning, a tweet was shared from the official account of 'EastEnders' that welcomed him into the cast: "We're delighted to announce @mattjwillis is joining #EastEnders for a short stint. Welcome to Walford Matt!"

Earlier this autumn, Willis confirmed that he would appear on 'Birds of a Feather' and in 2014 he will perform a total of 35 concerts in the UK as part of McBusted
