Casualty has signed up a The Crown and a Killing Eve star to join the BBC medical drama, with the pair set to make their debuts later this year.

The soap is set to welcome Jamie Glover and Manpreet Bachu to the emergency department this spring, according to The Sun. Digital Spy has reached out to the BBC for confirmation.

Known for his roles as Andrew Treneman in Waterloo Road and more recently Princess Diana's private secretary Patrick Jephson in season five of Netflix's The Crown, Glover will be playing Clinical Lead Patrick Onley. Onley is a trauma surgeon turned ED consultant.

The actor has previously appeared in the soap's sister series Holby City over the past few decades in a variety of guest roles, most recently in 2012.

Speaking about his casting, Glover called the series a "national treasure".

"I cannot tell you how thrilled I am to be working with such a dedicated, skilful group of people who care so passionately about the minutiae of each episode as well as the show?s wider impact," he shared.

"Casualty is quite rightly considered a national treasure. And it is a privilege to board the bus for a part of its journey."
