Former EastEnders star Jonny Labey, who played Paul Coker in the BBC soap, has reportedly signed up to Celebrity X Factor.
The actor is among many celebrities who are rumoured to have signed up for the show.
Jonny is said to be a front-runner for the revamped version of the talent show after wowing judges during his audition in Los Angeles.
A show source told the Daily Star: “Jonny has really impressed the panel with his vocal ability.
“They weren’t expecting him to be as good as he is. Everyone working on the show says he’ll be the one to watch.
“The public know him for his acting, but this will be his chance to show he can sing too.”
Back in 2017, Jonny won the first series of Dance Dance Dance. He was up against Emmerdale’s Fiona Wade, The Only Way Is Essex star Jess Wright, JB Gill from JLS and former Coronation Street actress Lucy-Jo Hudson.
Jonny appeared in EastEnders from 2015 till 2016.
