Balvinder Sopal is joining Strictly Come Dancing
The EastEnders actress – who has played Suki Kaur Panesar on the soap since 2019 – is the fifth celebrity unveiled for the upcoming series of the BBC’s Latin and ballroom competition.
She said in a statement: “Being on Strictly is a dream that I held on to, with no proof that it would ever happen.
“Working on EastEnders and being a part of Strictly Come Dancing is the stuff that dreams are made of.
“I’m far too excited to put into words how I feel but I’m incredibly excited at the prospect of dancing across the ballroom!”
The announcement was first made during Tuesday’s (12.08.25) episode of Good Morning Britain on ITV.
Balvinder – who will still seen on Albert Square during her Strictly stint – admitted while she has “dabbled” in dancing, she isn’t sure if she’ll actually be “any good”.
She said on GMB: “I can’t stop butterflies. Every time I think about it, they just go, so, yeah.
“I dabbled a little bit. I did ballroom and Latin as a kind of hobby, and I really love it. And I think when you’ve got a passion for something, you’re naturally kind of inclined to enjoy it.
“So I’ll definitely enjoy it. I don’t know if I’ll be any good!”
