Peep Show star Isy Suttie wants to land a role in EastEnders

And she's got a plan to make it happen

Peep Show actress Isy Suttie wants a role in EastEnders and she’s got a plan to make it happen.

Isy – who played Mark’s love interest Dobby in the C4 sitcom – is hoping her Damned co-star Himesh Patel can make the dream a reality.

Himesh played Tamwar Masood in the BBC One soap before leaving to pursue other roles in 2016.

Isy told BANG! Showbiz: “I don’t think I’m really in ‘EastEnders’ casting directors’ minds, but maybe if I have a word with Himesh I could be.”

She went on to joke: “My character could be a knitter and she could knit something to cover her tracks, that’s a good idea.

“I will write it. If the part gets made then nobody else can play my part, it can’t be someone from ‘Downton Abbey’, it’s got to be me.”

Sounds like she’s thought it all through.

Isy isn’t the only famous to express a desire to star in the award-winning soap.

Previously glamour girl Casey Bachelor admitted she’d love a role and even offered herself up as the new Zoe Slater.

Also speaking to BANG! back in 2015, Casey said: “I think I’d be a good Slater. They are going a little bit doolally at the minute, the Slaters.

“Let’s do a campaign and put this to ‘EastEnders’ – Casey Batchelor as the new Zoe Slater.”

And last year, X Factor star Sam Bailey confessed she’d like to cut her acting teeth in Walford alongside her pal, Danny Dyer.

During an appearance on Lorraine, she said: “I’d love to be one of the Carters.”

“I’d love to be part of the show, that’s something I’ve always wanted to do.

“I was there for the 30th anniversary and sang for the cast on the live show, I was the entertainment. Seeing all the cast the past and present I thought “I could really do this!”

Well, stranger things have happened.
