EastEnders newcomer's clash with former Walford icon uncovered
manchestereveningnews.co.ukEastEnders newcomer Elijah Holloway, who has just stepped into the role of Harry Mitchell in the BBC One soap, had an unforgettable encounter with a former Albert Square icon on a BBC talent show years before his current gig.
The fresh faces of the Mitchells made their entrance this week as Teddy (portrayed by Roland Manookian) sought out his father Stevie (played by Alan Ford).
While Elijah is now known for his part in EastEnders, he's also a singer and took a shot at a music career back in 2017. Elijah, then 18, took to the stage on the BBC's short-lived talent competition Let It Shine, where he worked as a luxury perfume seller by day, charming "rich customers" into purchasing fragrances.
