EastEnders star Nitin Ganatra, who plays Masood Ahmed in the BBC soap, has revealed the character he would like as his on-screen love interest.

With actress Gillian Taylforth set to reprise her role as Kathy Beale later this year, Ganatra believes she and Masood would make a great couple. 

He told RadioTimes.com: "I would love Masood to get together with Kathy, partly because I've already been Gillian Taylforth's love interest in a show we did together for ITV called Jane Hall . . . She's a great actress, very watchable and a lot of fun to work with."

He continued: "I'd also be interested to see what the dynamic would be. I think it'd be different to what we've seen before, which is Masood being bossed around by women.

"I reckon Masood would be the tearaway while Kathy would be the reasonable one. It would be fun if it was Kathy trying to tame Masood."
