Doctor Who actress Georgia Moffett will play his fiancée in the medical drama.

"It's really exciting to be filming with Casualty again," he said, "I'm a big fan of the show, and I enjoyed myself so much last time it was an easy decision to return.

"It's been a pleasure working with Georgia and the whole team in Cardiff."

Costa previously guest-starred in both Holby City and Casualty in 2010, but admitted that he would one day love to appear in EastEnders.

He said: "I have had a life-long dream to be in EastEnders, I can see myself playing Mick Carter's long-lost cousin or something like that.

"I have always wanted to play a villain; it's a role I could really see myself getting my teeth stuck into."
