The former EastEnders stars, who played Dennis Rickman and Ronnie Mitchell in the BBC One soap, have been cast as “a sexy thirty-something couple”.

Tanya (Womack) and Bradley (Harman) move to Mount Pleasant with their teenage daughter Ella (Nicola Millbank).

Sky teases: “Bradley’s wheeler dealer ways and Tanya’s boundless self-confidence make sure that the pair are quick to settle in and it’s not long before they’ve invited the neighbours round for a house party. Its tequila shots and popping Cava corks all round!  Everyone’s enjoying themselves, especially Gary (George Sampson), who’s instantly taken with Ella. Elsewhere Dan (Daniel Ryan) and Lisa (Sally Lindsay) couldn’t be happier. What could possibly shake their cosy little world to its foundations?”

Harman comments: “Bradley’s a great character, a real wide boy whose clearly got something to hide. He and Tanya are definitely going to stir things up in Mount Pleasant but whether that’s for the better or worse you’ll have to wait and see.”

Womack adds: “I’m thrilled to be joining the cast of Mount Pleasant, such a popular and well-loved series. I can’t wait to get stuck in to playing the part of Tanya who is sure to create some waves in The Close.”

Series 3 begins on Sky Living this summer.
