EastEnders star Davood Ghadami has reportedly left his wife and is now in a relationship with his pantomime co-star Melanie Barker after starring alongside her in a production of Aladdin.
“The genie is now well and truly out of the bottle and they are a proper couple -living together, training together and posting photos on Instagram together,” they said.
The insider added that Ghadami and Barker’s romance is the “perfect fairytale ending” to the situation – aside from the pair’s former partners “left in their wake”.
When the Ghadami appeared on Strictly Come Dancing in 2017, he was forced to dismiss claims he succumbed to the Strictly curse with his professional partner Nadiya Bychkova.
However, Barker told The Independent she and Ghadami began dating in 2024 after they had both already ended their previous relationships.
