Eastenders fans are likely to be just a tad excited by the latest X Factor musical news - because Nigel Harman has been cast as head judge and all round music mogul Simon Cowell in the production.
For those who don't remember, Nigel played Dennis Rickman in the BBC soap, before he was stabbed at a New Year's Eve party in an episode that we're still not sure we're completely over. HE DIED IN SHARON'S ARMS AND THEY WERE ABOUT TO RUN AWAY TOGETHER. Ahem.
Written by Harry Hill, I Can't Sing is a fictionalised behind-the-scenes account of The X Factor, set to premiere at the London Palladium on March 26 next year - and there's been much speculation over who will be donning the high waisted trousers to step into Uncle Si's shoes.
