Former EastEnders actor joins Holby City tonight!

Just in case you think he looks familiar...

Get ready for a new face on the wards of Holby City tonight, as a new F1 medic hits up Darwin.

And if you think that face looks familiar it’s because it belongs to actor David Ajao, who has previously appeared in BBC One stablemate EastEnders.

Yep, it’s all coming back to you now, right?

No, not quite. Well, here’s a ruddy great clue.

The young thesp rocked up in EastEnders at the tail end of last year.

He was seen chatting to Lee Carter outside his flat and revealed he was the new neighbour, Craig.

He then questioned Lee about a parcel he was expecting (which the troubled former soldier had taken).

There’s another Walford connection, too… David Ajao appeared alongside former EastEnders star Michelle Ryan in 2012 horror movie Cockney v Zombies.

In tonight’s Holby, his character Dr Damon Ford doesn’t get off to a great start as he collides, quite literally, with Mo.

He then encounters Dom on the roof – and asks for directions on Darwin Ward.

Once there he faces the wrath of Matteo, who’s annoyed because the medic has turned up late – and seems determined to punish him with a gruelling first day.

David excitedly shared a tweet from Holby City’s account, heralding his arrival.

And the good news is the handsome actor will be hanging around the hospital for much longer than he did Walford.
