Dizzee wants Eastenders role

Dizzee Rascal says he would like a role in EastEnders, but the soap says nothing has been arranged.

Dizzee Rascal has said he wants a role in 'Eastenders'. Well, he's said he'd do it if they asked him, it's not like he's demanding it or anything.

He told The Sun: "'Eastenders' means a lot to me, because I'm from the east end. I've thought about acting a couple of times. It is something I want to break into soon. It would be a natural progression. I could see myself on 'Eastenders' one day - they just need to offer me a role and I'm there".

In response to this, a spokesperson said that Dizzee was welcome to pop along any time he's in Walford (which could be considered a snub, seeing as Walford doesn't actually exist). They said: "It's great to hear Dizzee Rascal is such a big 'Eastenders' fan - he's a brilliant performer and a true Eastender so he'd be very welcome to swing by the Queen Vic if he's ever in Walford. It's not out of the question , but we've certainly not got anything sorted with regards to him joining the programme".
