New man for EastEnders?

EastEnders bosses are looking for a new male heartthrob for Albert Square.

Soap head honcho Diederick Santer wants a new man to attract the ladies following the departure of Sean Slater (Rob Kazinsky), reports the Daily Star.

"I think with Rob gone that we now have a hole in the hunk stakes," he was quoted as saying.

"And that needs to be filled."

The producer apparently said he would be keeping his eyes open for "a sexy new 20-something actor who can spice things up in the Square".

Sean Slater left Walford last week after discovering his baby wasn't actually his.
