EastEnders has revealed a first look at new characters Iqra and Habiba Ahmed arriving on Albert Square.
The mischievous pair are the nieces of Masood Ahmed and will be new regulars for the show, shaking up life in Walford from the very start.
When Iqra (Priya Davdra) and Habiba (Rukku Nahar) first arrive, they have their sights firmly set on running the Walford East restaurant – especially with Masood about to head off to Australia for Nancy and Tamwar's wedding.
Masood is intrigued to spot his family members on the Square and rightly suspects that there's more to their arrival than just ambitions for the restaurant.
What really brings the pair to Walford?
