Walford has welcomed a new leading lady and she's already getting under the skin of Ravi Gulati (Aaron Thiara). During Monday's EastEnders episode (October 16), Ravi finally comes face-to-face with his son Nugget (Juhaim Rasul Choudhury) after he flees the Square upon hearing that his dad is a murderer.
As Ravi followed Suki (Balvinder Sopal) and her abusive husband Nish Panesar (Navin Chowdhry), he discovered Nugget has been living in a messy flat in Brixton. As he demands his son go back to Walford with him, Priya enters the room confirming she's Nugget's mum before dealing some honest truths to her ex-lover Ravi.
Priya's sassiness doesn't stop there as she goes to Albert Square during Tuesday's episode (October 17) to win back her son Nugget, but she isn't alone! So let's take a peek inside the life of actress Sophie Khan Levy as she arrives on the BBC One soap as Priya Nandra-Hart.
