He added: "There was healthy competition between Ekin and I, and we had lots of fun as we supported each other through the experience."
Several soap stars also feature in the cast for this series, including Amy Robbins, Michelle Hardwick, Laila Morse, Rita Simons, Tamzin Outhwaite, Amanda Barrie, and Colson Smith.
